Celtic manager Neil Lennon has admitted his side need a miracle to remain in the UEFA Champions League after a 3-0 home defeat to Juventus in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Juventus manager Antonio Conte, who stayed away from any controversy when told about Lennon's assessment of the referee, was satisfied with his side's performance during what was at times a frantic match. He said: "Celtic are a good team but we knew this, and there was a fantastic crowd who were like two extra men and that can only drive a team on. "So it was a difficult match for us, but we kept our heads. "Celtic played with great intensity but we showed great maturity and overall it was an excellent result for us."
