Celtic Blow 4-0 Lead, Exit Champions League

Celtic threw away a commanding four-goal aggregate lead with a 5-1 defeat to Lask, crashing out of the Champions League for the second consecutive season.

The Scottish champions looked destined for the league stage when Callum McGregor's 21st-minute deflected strike gave them a 4-0 lead on aggregate. However, they endured a European nightmare in Linz, Austria, as their defensive collapse resulted in a 5-1 loss that eliminated them from the competition.

The defeat represents a significant financial blow of over £20 million for the club, which had been hoping to progress in Europe after last season's early exit. truewildgame.online
