It was late heartbreak for the champions as they were hit with a late European blow against Serie A opposition.
Heartbreak was the ultimate Champions League taste Brendan Rodgers and Celtic were left with on Wednesday night as Lazio turned the tables on them with a 2-1 win.
But while their performance was to be applauded, ultimately they have been left empty handed and four points off everyone else in their section. Here's how world media reacted to the game in Glasgow's east-end. La Gazzetta dello Sport "Another incredible finish for Sarri's men in the Champions League. Vecino responds to Furuhashi, then the goal in the final which is worth the success and the head of the group.
Dagblad Suriname "Pedro's dagger in the 95th minute lifts Lazio and seals Celtic's 'harsh' fate. Lazio secured a thrilling 2-1 victory against Celtic in the Champions League, with Pedro's goal in the 95th minute. Lazio, led by Maurizio Sari, came to Glasgow after a poor run in Serie A but managed to secure victory in dramatic fashion. Celtic took the lead thanks to Kyogo Furuhashi, but Lazio equalized with a goal from Matias Vecino before half-time.
L'Equipe "Lazio signed their first victory in the Champions League of the season at the end of the suspense. Surprised by Celtic and the opening score of Furuhashi , Lazio was able to show resilience to equalize thanks to Vecino , resisting the awakening of the Scots who believed they were regaining the advantage thanks to a goal of Palma, refused for offside then to regain the advantage in the final moments.
"Maurizio Sarri's team equalized at 29 with a very confusing corner kick. Matias Vecino was the last to touch the ball, after Alessio Romagnoli won in the air. Joe Hart still took the ball from under the posts, but it had already crossed the line. Honduran Luís Palma, in the 82nd minute, also introduced the ball into the Italians' goal, but the play ended up being canceled by the VAR for offside. As usual, the Italians ended up prevailing.
