http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aiden-McGeady-c4091 has urged his side to win against Celtic after their 3-2 defeat in the UEFA Champions League tie against the Spanish outfit on Wednesday
Lionel Messi’s second-half brace followed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 at Camp Nou.
The Moscow-based club, who moved to the group stages after winning the play-off round 3-2 against Fenerbahce on aggregate, suffered the pulsating defeat despite getting close to a land mark victory over the Spanish giants.
Spartak Moscow midfielder-c*m-winger, Aiden McGeady, has lamented their latest European defeat, insisting that his side deserved a point in the corresponding fixture against the four-time Champions League’s winning club.
“It was a difficult match and we were really close to winning it. But we need to understand that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are a massive club that has a potential to change the fate of the match at any possible time. In the second half, the opponent
took advantage of these moments.”
“We played well. We quickly transmitted the ball during the match, which is important against Barcelona. But we played against great players and the best in the world and we knew that it is going to be a difficult task to win at
Camp Nou.” The former Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 player was quoted as saying.
As things stand, the Spartachi have dropped down to the bottom spot of their respective group table as the other group rivals, namely Celtic FC and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542, settled for a goalless draw.
Spartak will now lock horns with the Scottish giants in the upcoming second group stage meeting at Luzhniki stadium. McGeady assured the fans of securing a decent result at home, insisting that the Red-whites are capable of doing
much more in Europe.
The 26-year-old went on to express his excitement prior to their next match against Celtic, saying that he cannot wait to play the European fixture against his former club for which he made 185 appearances in total.
Spartak will play their second group stage game after playing league matches against Amkar Perm and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Rostov-c39192 respectively.
