SEASON 2024/25
Group Stage
CELTIC 1 YOUNG BOYS BERNE 0
Scorer: OG
Celtic facing the team at the botton of the new UEFA Champions League format were expected to win comfortably however a combination of very good goalkeeping and VAR kept the scoreline at 0-0 until the final 5 minutes of the match when it was decided by an Own Goal.
Marvin Keller (YB) made a series of saves throughout the game including a first half penalty and Kasper Schmeichel of Celtic made a very important double save in the second half.
In the first half Celtic had the ball in the net three times only for VAR to rule all of them out.
History repeated itself as the match produced the same scoreline and "scorer" as the match between the clubs in 1993.
A fantastic touch (below) from Young Boys fans to a small Celtic fan at the end of the game:

Personal note:
- 2nd time attending this fixture - the previous one was a UEFA Cup tie in season 1993/94.
- I've seen Celtic play 5 different Swiss clubs over the years in European competition (the other clubs are Basel, Neuchatel Xamax, Sion and Zurich)
- My 165th Celtic match attended in UEFA competion since 1982
