Opposite number Diego Simeone felt his team put in a 'real' Champions League performance after being cut op in the first half.
Brendan Rodgers showered praise on his ‘courageous’ Celtic side after a heroic Champions League effort against Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.
“We were unfortunate with their penalty. One, I thought it was very harsh, and two, after the save it hits the post and goes back to their player. “But I don’t think you can say they’ll fly back to Spain not knowing that they had a really tough game against a team that gave everything. And that’s all you can ask.
“But it’s the performance that gives you confidence at this level. And that was a really big performance. We just couldn’t quite get the result or the win we wanted.” Rodgers was dealt an blow when Reo Hatate limped off clutching a damaged hamstring and must now wait for the results of a scan. But Celtic are unlikely to be in any doubt over UEFA’s next step following the latest display by their fans.
