Bavaria on the road to success: Duel against Celtic in the Champions League playoff!

Celtic Park, Glasgow, Schottland - On Wednesday evening, February 12, 2025, the important first leg for FC Bayern Munich starts in the play-offs of the UEFA Champions League against the traditional Scottish club Celtic Glasgow. The game takes place in the famous Celtic Park and starts at 9 p.m. Bavaria did not show the best performance in the previous Champions League season and had to be content with twelfth place in the newly introduced league, like Laola1 . Celtic Glasgow ranks 21st in this phase and has completed with twelve points.

Bavaria with high expectations

Bayern travel in a strong form to Scotland, as they were able to celebrate eight wins from the last nine games. Only against Feyenoord and Gernot Trauner they had to give up. Despite the difficulties in the Champions League, Bayern against Celtic seem to be on course, since they are less challenging than other possible opponents, such as Manchester City. The second leg planned for February 18 in Munich is intended to serve the German record champions to secure the ticket for the round of 16 after missing the direct path as determined.

Although Bavaria has to do without key players like Alphonso Davies and João Palhinha, the ambitions are clear: a victory in Glasgow to realize the desired qualification for the next round and to set a sign in European football scene. The referee setting is also certain: Jesús Gil Manzano will lead the game. The transmission can be followed via the Pay streaming services DAZN or Amazon Prime Video, which only reinforces the anticipation for this duel.
