Just Can't Get Enough! Celtic defeats Mighty Barcelona

Tony Watt #32 after scoring the 2nd of two goals against Barcelona at Celtic Park

It bears repeating - Celtic FC beat Barcelona FC 2-1 on Wednesday 7 Nov. Known as possibly the world's best team, Barca came into Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland with only one loss for the season. The champions of the much maligned Scottish Premiere League, accoomplished the impossible -  an upset.

And not just a win, it was a historic win! The Bhoys held possession of the ball for 16.4% of the match which shows you, it's not how often you have the ball, it's what you do with it when you do!

And as outstanding as the goals were, the defending was truly a things of beauty. Keeper Forster was beaten up and on by Barca but in the end, only allowed one goal from Messi after countless attempts.

Celtic will play Spartak Moscow at Celtic Park during their next match of the Champions League.
