Celtic defender Kelvin Wilson could not hide his disappointment
after his side were beaten in their Champions League group game away to
Barcelona thanks to a late Jordi Alba goal.
"Gutted is the word. We defended with our lives all
game and it looked like we'd done it,” he said in a post-match interview with
Sky Sports.
"It's never over 'til the final whistle with Barca and
they proved it."
Neil Lennon lauded his side’s display and commitment in
the face of continuous pressure from Barcelona.
He told Sky Sports: “They were brave and stuck with what I asked them to do. They
defended brilliantly and at times we looked dangerous on the counter-attack.”
“Everybody had written us
off but I knew of the quality of the character in the team. I look forward to
doing it again in a couple of weeks. Forster was quality - top class. I think
he'll go far in the game. We just needed to see it through.”
Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas
was relieved that his side won the game given how much effort was required to
make it happen.
The Spanish midfielder tweeted after the match: “It's been painful! Until the last minute we were
breathless… this victory is very important for us!”
