RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa has named Celtic Park as the favourite stadium he has played at.
The Norway international played 68 minutes at a packed Parkhead in 2024, as Brendan Rodgers’ side triumphed 3-1 in the Champions League.
In one of Celtic’s best European performances in recent memory, a Nicolas Kuhn brace and second-half goal from Reo Hatate gave them a deserved victory.
The place was rocking that night, and it remained in Nusa’s memory.

Nusa joined Leipzig from Club Brugge for £17 million in August 2021 after being intensely linked with Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham.
His stock has risen again this season, with Diario Sport reporting interest in him from Barcelona last month, with the German club setting a £60 million asking price.
Celtic Park has rarely been a fortress for the Hoops in recent times, but last season, Rodgers’ side went unbeaten in their four home matches in the League Phase.
As well as Leipzig, the Celts sealed wins over Slovan Bratislava and Young Boys, also drawing 1-1 against Club Brugge.
What is one stadium that comes close to Celtic Park in terms of atmosphere?
Or can none compare?
They ended up securing their first Champions League knockout qualification since 2012-13 against Bayern Munich, staying neck-and-neck with the German giants for 180 minutes in a commendable performance.
Considering how this season has gone on both the domestic and European stages, it’s barely believable that the club have dropped off so quickly and drastically.
