This Wednesday 7th of November, FC Barcelona will visit Celtic Park in what will be the fifth European game in Celtic Glasgow‘s home ground. The 4 previous matchups gave a positive balance for the catalans with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
The very first time they met at Celtic Park was back in the 1964/65 season in the UEFA Cup, in a match that ended goalless.
Subsequently, it took forty years for the club to play again at this mythical stadium. The team, led by Frank Rijkaard, fell in the first leg of the first knockout round of the UEFA Cup with a goal from Thompson for the Scots.
The most recent matches, however, allow Barça fans to be more optimistic. During the 2004/05 season, goals from Deco, Giuly and Larsson sealed the 1-3 victory in the Champions League group stage. 2 years later, during the first leg of the knockout stages of the 2007/08 Champions League, Barça beat 2-3 with a 2 goals from Leo Messi and a goal from Thierry Henry.
