Celtic came close to defeating Bayern Munich and securing a longer run in the Champions League, but their hopes were dashed by a late goal from Alphonso Davies.
This was a disappointing end for Schmeichel after an incredible journey. “Football can be cruel at times, and that’s the emotion we’re feeling right now. I was thoroughly enjoying the game and would have loved another 30 minutes. Despite the disappointment, we have to recognize that we were playing away against Bayern and drawing is no small feat. It shows how far we’ve come,” stated Schmeichel, as reported by @iMiaSanMia.
Schmeichel’s assessment was spot on. While the draw may sting, it is a testament to Celtic’s ability to compete with one of the strongest and most talented teams in Europe, which is a significant achievement despite being eliminated from the Champions League.
