Celtic is still on course to earn a Champions League play-off spot.
Celtic’s draw with Club Brugge on Wednesday night was a fairly disappointing performance, but considering how the game went, maybe the supporters would accept it.
Celtic’s trip to Villa Park on the last matchday of this recently changed Champions League format is only one of many games left to play for.
Cameron Carter-Vickers scored an own goal that Brendan Rodgers will never give up again, and the game began horribly.
The Bhoys set themselves a mountain to climb once more, just like they did against Leipzig the previous time out, but this time there was no indication of a goal.
However, the all-action Daizen Maeda created a wonderful opportunity to equalise after the hour mark, while the Celtic supporters were voicing their dissatisfaction.
To the joy of the Parkhead crowd, his curling attempt kissed the post and went into the back of the net at a very tight angle.
Peter Schmeichel gave his assessment on Maeda’s play after the game, and it wasn’t very positive.
According to Peter Schmeichel, Daizen Maeda had a difficult game for Celtic against Club Brugge.
One thing you can always count on from Maeda is that he will make sure the opposition puts in every effort they have ever put forth.
The Japanese celebrity has excellent balance and nimble feet. He demonstrated that for his objective, which Schmeichel called “fantastic.”
However, the great goalie, whose son was playing for Celtic, told CBS Sports on Paramount+ (27/11/24 at 10:40 pm) that he felt a typically “important” player for the squad “didn’t have the best of games” and “didn’t really do too much.”
Schmeichel stated, “Celtic is enjoying themselves and they did come back in the game, putting so much pressure on Brugge in the last 15 minutes.” In fact, I believed they would prevail.
“This goal, which was scored by Maeda, is amazing, and he had a beautiful finish. His games weren’t the best. He is a crucial participant. He is the first person in the press because he quickly silences the opposition.
“He didn’t really accomplish anything, but that goal is amazing and that was his greatest action. However, it appeared like several of the guys weren’t playing at their best.
Maeda’s Celtic vs. Club Brugge stats
Maeda played just over an hour at Tynecastle after being on international duty with Japan, and Celtic defeated Hearts by four goals over the weekend.
Despite Schmeichel’s remarks, WhoScored gave his performance against Club Brugge an extremely impressive 7.34.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Maeda was rested for the weekend’s home match against Ross County, considering how many games he is playing.
especially considering the busy schedule that includes a trip to Aberdeen the next week, Hibernian, the Champions League, and the December 15 League Cup final against Rangers.
