BBC Sports. Paul Merson issues six-word reaction to Celtic’s Champions League win over RB Leipzig.

Celtic delivered a memorable performance in the Champions League, defeating RB Leipzig 3-1 on Tuesday night.

Brendan Rodgers’ team went into the game knowing they were up against a formidable but injured beast. Yes, RB Leipzig had lost their first three Champions League games, but they were placed in Pot 1 at the outset of the campaign for a reason. Furthermore, Marco Rose’s side is now second in the Bundesliga, so this was not going to be easy and may be quite tough to traverse. Even though Celtic trailed 1-0 and were under pressure early on, once Nicolas Kuhn’s curling attempt levelled the scores, the home team never looked back and won the game.

Celtic’s man of the moment was on fire, and it wasn’t long before he was celebrating his second goal of the game, which was followed by a third from Reo Hatate in the second half. Understandably, this win by the Bhoys drew a lot of attention and appreciation.

Paul Merson hailed Celtic’s’massive win’ over RB Leipzig.

In the context of this newly modified Champions League system, the question now is whether Scotland’s champions can qualify through the top eight. Yes, there is still a long way to go, but as Paul Merson mentioned on Twitter, this is’massive’. Parkhead is unique on any given night, but under the Champions League lights, the players delivered, and Merson was overjoyed for the team.
