Celtic and Manchester United booked their places in the last 32 of the Europa League with two games to spare last night.
Celtic did so in far more dramatic fashion, as Olivier Ntcham scored in the fifth minute of added time in Rome to give Celtic a 2-1 win over Lazio.
🗣️ "You don’t know where the boundaries are with this team. We should sit back and enjoy what we’ve seen. It was very special."

Things were far easier for Manchester United who beat Partizan Belgrade 3-nil at Old Trafford.
Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford scored the goals.
Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was happy; "This is a little bit of a template of how we want to play definitely, but of course it's the opposition that allow you to play this way as well, no disrespect to Partizan but they gave us spaces".
