Celtic 2 - 2 Atletico Madrid (Oct-25-2023) Champions League Highlights

Celtic have now gone 13 games and more than six years without a Champions League win after 10-player Atletico Madrid twice came from behind to claim a 2-2 draw at Parkhead.

Feyenoord's victory over Lazio earlier on Wednesday meant Celtic could not move off the bottom of Group E regardless of their result against Atletico, further emphasising the need to earn their first points in Europe this season.

Perhaps spurred on by that challenge, Celtic quickly took the lead as Matt O'Riley superbly setting up Kyogo Furuhashi to score - just as he had done against Lazio on matchday two.

Atletico's first equaliser came when Antoine Griezmann scored the rebound after Joe Hart saved his penalty, but Celtic struck back just three minutes later through Luis Palma's rasping shot.

Alvaro Morata restored parity just before the hour mark and Atletico looked like they would go on to complete the turnaround until Rodrigo De Paul's late red card, which forced the visitors to settle for a point that keeps them well-placed to return to the knockouts.
