Alan Shearer makes his feelings clear on Celtic and Brendan Rodgers after Bayern Munich defeat
Feb 19, 2025
It was a tough way to crash out of the Champions League for Celtic, but what a fight everyone put up.
Brendan Rodgers’ side headed to the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night trailing 2-1 from the first leg of their Champions League playoff tie.
There are some who expected Celtic to possibly crumble and suffer a heavy defeat, just like the Dortmund horror show in matchweek two.
But Celtic fought until the end against Munich, only for a stoppage-time Alphonso Davies goal to crush the hearts of those in green and white colours.
Despite playing a team that is being tipped to go a long way in this competition, they were probably lucky, not just to progress, but to progress in normal time after Nicolas Kuhn deservedly opened the scoring in the second half.
But that first-leg defeat, mainly the opening hour, was the killer for Celtic and now everyone licks their wounds as they head back to Glasgow.
Alan Shearer says Celtic ‘don’t deserve’ heartache of losing to Bayern Munich
Alan Shearer was working for Amazon Prime and he witnessed the second-leg action, including how Celtic ‘didn’t deserve’ to suffer such heartache right at the end.
The former England striker pointed out that Kasper Schmeichel made a ‘great’ save in the lead-up to Davies’ goal, but Cameron Carter-Vickers was so unlucky that he couldn’t clear it away.
