“It was a difficult game for us. Celtic played very well, but we were patient, waited for the moment and scored. We could score again, but this is a good result for us.

We had a second chance to score, but Celtic also had chances, so I think a draw is a fair result. It's better for us, but both teams deserved a draw.

Leaving a group? Why not? At the beginning of the group stage, no one thought that we could play like this. Now we have the opportunity to continue participating in the Champions League. We won the first match against Leipzig, so we will fight for victory in the final game as well," Stepanenko said.
