Celtic captain Callum McGregor reflected on the team's near-success against Bayern Munich in a Champions League match that ended in a painful 1-1 draw. Despite holding off Bayern until a late goal sealed their fate with a 3-2 aggregate, McGregor praised his team's effort and dedication, emphasizing their pride in their performance. He acknowledged the cruelty of football, where hard work doesn't always lead to deserved outcomes, yet he expressed no regret in how they played, highlighting the resolve and professionalism showcased by the squad throughout the match.
"Probably one of the cruelest to be honest. The performance the players gave, they gave absolutely everything and pushed a really good Bayern side all the way right to the end, the death, the last kick of the ball."
"Sometimes football is cruel, you don't always get what you deserve but I'm so proud of the players, the way that they played, the way that they handled themselves. We came off the pitch with no regrets."
