RB Leipzig striker André Silva is expecting a tough Champions League game at Glasgow’s Celtic Park. “It won’t be easy because of the atmosphere and the fans. We have to be vigilant from the first minute,” said the Portugal international. “The environment will be difficult, we have to show the power from the first leg.”
Leipzig won the first meeting a week ago 3-1. The Scottish champions need at least one point on Tuesday (9 p.m. / DAZN) to win the direct duel. RB would have reached the round of 16 in their own hands.
Silva scored twice in the first leg and despite the heated atmosphere with 60,000 fans he is hoping for a similar performance. “As a player, I love that kind of atmosphere. I have a good feeling and I hope to score again,” said the 26-year-old. However, the Portuguese had not yet scored in the Bundesliga or the other two Champions League games.
Coach Marco Rose won with Salzburg at Celtic in 2018 and has good memories as a result. “The crowd is very knowledgeable. I got the feeling that they appreciated it when the opponent made a good game. It was fun,” said Rose. The 46-year-old demands attitude, willingness and enthusiasm from his team.
