From Diego Simeone to Arne Slot. There have been a few unhappy campers in Celtic’s opposition dugout in the Champions League this season.
Celtic deservedly secured a 2-1 win over Feyenoord in the Champions League on Wednesday, but it came with Arne Slot’s annoyance.
It seems as though the Feyenoord coach was steaming before his team conceded a penalty, which probably didn’t help matters.
Luis Palma opened the scoring for Celtic, via the penalty spot, when Liam Scales was wrestled down in the area.
According to a BBC reporter, Arne Slot was in ‘deep conversation’ with the fourth official and complaining about one thing or another.
Then the penalty was awarded and it was added that Arne Slot was ‘not a happy man’, as a result of it all.
In the end, Celtic sealed the points, and unlike a certain Diego Simeone, he did shake Brendan Rodgers’ hands after the match.
Feyenoord boss Arne Slot
“Feyenoord manager Arne Slot is not a happy man,” said a BBC reporter.
“Moments before the penalty award he was deep in conversation with the fourth official complaining about something, then came the penalty award and that certainly didn’t help his mood.”
Celtic ease the pressure
At least there will be no talk of Celtic’s winless run in Europe from other parts of the media now.
It will probably turn into ‘Only one win in…’. from next season!
On a serious note, ahead of the Champions League changing its format, this win came at the right time and it just sparks some belief back into the system.
The change of format in the Champions League, from an overall perspective, wasn’t probably needed because don’t fix something that’s not broken.
But, hopefully, this bodes well for Celtic in the long run and the wins in Europe can start staking up.
