Valencia Boss Marcelino Garcia Toral believes that the Celtic Park atmosphere may be a huge factor in their Champions League clash, with the Spaniard saying that the noise could rival Anfield.
Marcelino has previously managed at Anfield but is looking forward to his trip to Celtic Park, admitting that he is excited to be making the trip to Glasgow.
The Spaniard was Villareal boss when Liverpool beat them to earn a place in the Europa League final against Sevilla.
However, he admitted that his experiences at Celtic Park on Thursday could top the atmosphere he experienced at Anfield.
Marcelino said, via the Daily Record:
We heard it is a spectacular atmosphere and one of best in European football. We are very excited about that.
I have played an important match at Anfield before and I think it will be similar atmosphere if not better.
I think all professional footballers want to be play in this kind of atmosphere so we will have maximum motivation. The fans make the game spectacular, they make it difficult for the opposition.
Celtic Park plays host to the first leg of the tie, with Celtic looking to put past European disappointments behind them and progress against Valencia.
The Hoops have never progressed past the round of 32 stage since the competition was rebranded as the Europa League.
