Celtic chances in the Champions League

This year, the Celtic team competing in the Champions League are stronger than last year as they’ve come out of the transfer window. Olivier Ntcham can most probably bring some great quality to the game, and the team will perhaps benefit of his experience.
Despite their loss, Brendan Rodgers reckons that his side are fully geared up and that they can achieve much more than many would expect. According to the coach predictions, they are going to finish second in their group. Their match against Paris Saint Germain was more of a David Vs Goliath game and should be digested in a positive way by Celtic. PSG is made entirely of world-class footballers. If you have a good look at their team, it is as if someone discovered all the possible cheat codes that can exist in real football. Pastore, Cavani, Mbappe, Neymar, and the list goes on.
Prior to the match, Brendan Rodgers had already predicted that he didn’t expect much from their opening game against PSG under the Parkhead lights. Celtic upcoming match against Anderlecht could be quite tricky, but the coach things that they could be taking the maximum of points against this Belgian team. As for their clash against Bayern, Rodgers believes that they are no longer the team they used to be with an ageing Ribery and Robben. It could be the end of the Bayern era with a defeat marked at Parkhead.
