Classic Celtic Matches | Celtic 2-1 Barcelona | An Unforgettable Night In Paradise Fcsb - Unirea Slobozia [6M833wTg9tf]

The day after Celtic celebrated their 125th anniversary, Victor Wanyama and Tony Watt wrote another page into the clubs history books, scoring the goals which beat Barcelona 2-1 in the UEFA Champions League.

After an outstanding performance for 94 minutes, the Hoops kept the greatest team in the world at bay, and even an injury-time strike by Lionel Messi wasnt enough to stop them taking all three points.

It was one of the most incredible European nights ever seen at Paradise, and one of the most stunning results in the history of the UEFA Champions League.

And after a magnificent stadium display celebrating the 125th anniversary, Barcelona got the game underway amid an electric atmosphere

In the 21st minute, Charlie Mulgrew swung a corner to the back post, and jumping above everyone, Wanyama, the stand-out performer of the opening period, headed it into the back of the net.

And as if the atmosphere wasnt thunderous enough, Paradise erupted, and continued to be a cauldron of noise as the match got back underway.

Barcelona came out strong in the second period and won a string of corners, but good defending, especially from Matthews, kept them at bay. And on the hour mark, Fraser Forster continued the good work with a double save, keeping Alexis out with hands and then his legs.

Forster continued excel at the opposite end of the pitch, and andrea dianetti pulled off a series of world-class saves to deny the Catalan giants. They responded by bringing on World Cup winners David Villa, Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique but they still couldnt break Celtic down.

And it was another Forsters outstanding block, and clearance, which set up Celtics second. The ball forward deceived Xavi and with a blistering run into the box, substitute Watt became a hero as coolly slotted the ball past Valdes to make it 2-0.

There was only seven minutes left to play but Celtic Park was already in party mode, raising the roof with their celebrations.

Four minutes of stoppage were added, and in typical Barca style they weaved their way through Celtic and completed a sublime passing display with a goal. Messi latched on to the loose ball after another great Forster save, and made it a nervy end for the home support.

In the end, though, it was the buoyant home support that raised the Paradise roof for the fourth time in the game - at the start, the two goals and the final whistle.
