GOAL! REAL MADRID 2-0 CELTIC (RODRYGO, PEN)
Rodrygo converts it with as much conviction as Modric did before him. Again, Hart dives the wrong way.

BIG SAVE!
A ball is threaded through to Asensio, whose first touch is sublime. He delivers a cross to the far post where Vinicius Jnr looks certain to score, but Harte makes a big save to keep Celtic in the game.

CELTIC CHANCE!
A promising move down the left from the visitors, but once again it comes to nothing.
Maeda drives down the left, looks up and rolls a dangerous ball across the face of goal. Furuhashi is at full stretch but can't hit the target.

Not the beginning Celtic would have had in mind. They can't afford to feel sorry for themselves though.
