Ahead of their UEFA Champions League encounter with Celtic, RB Leipzig forward Christoph Baumgartner said he dreamt of playing in stadiums like Celtic Park due to the renowned atmosphere associated with the ground.
And it was the 25-year-old who made a dream start last night, when he fired his side in front after 23 minutes.
Celtic endured a fair bit of pressure thereafter, before a moment of magic from Nicolas Kuhn levelled the scoreline.
The German struck again on the stroke of half-time, and Reo Hatate put the game out of sight in the second half.
Speaking after the match, Baumgartner was honest in his assessment of the game, suggesting he and his teammates simply weren't good enough on the night.
He said: "After they equalised, Celtic were definitely the better team.
"Many of their big chances were our own fault, especially the equaliser, when we allowed Nicolas Kuhn to go on his left foot and shoot.
"Celtic were well organised and put us in trouble when we played it out from the back.
"We were missing something against Celtic and against Borussia Dortmund. Everyone needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves whether that was enough."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
