    Ok i wasnt in Barcelona unfortunately but like everyone else was enjoying the build up to the game over the last week and then went to the local to watch it. I dont think the second tie reached the expectation levels we had not just from the team but from the whole package. There wasnt as many at the game for what was a knockout tie as was predicted ( 75,002 ), the atmosphere didnt seem too hot, thousands were leaving 15 mins before the end and Barcelona just didnt look interested. For what was meant to be a great friendship between supporters i expected a better turnout. I think the team done well second half and tried to play their part but all in all it just didnt appear to have the titanic clash feeling at all. Anyone else feel the same ?

    no 1- expectation level- barca treated celtic with due resect ,but were never going to lose that game in honesty. no2 , 75002 spectators for a second leg tie that your team are allready up 3-2 the opposition needing 2 away goals , was by far a decent turn out no3 ,thousands leaving with 15 mins to go and barca didnt look intersted, there team were never under x amount of pressure ,a lot of celtic fans do it every week , barca didnt look intersted well maybe that was the respect , by not giving celtic a going over like the second half at parkhed , im not saying celtic were crap , but definetly out there league .

    I've been to the Nou Camp, and it's an amazing stadium. Celtic Park is much better for atmosphere though.

    the nou camp is a load of *- ur stuck upin the crows nest away from the action then treated like * monkies at the end not letting us out- so much 4 having a good relationship with celtic !!!

    sat in the ground over 2hrs b4 the start did'nt help either getting f.ing frozen then 2 lose a goal after 2min- put a bit of a dampner on things !

    i dont there are many stadiums that can generate the noise level like park-head does ,its deafening and the team defo reacts to it , this said i wish every game in our league got the noise level up-to the same standard as the euro games . the probs way the nou camp is its not covered ,and the away fans are perched way up in the stadium , i wish some thing could happen for celtic to get the main stand pulled down and to be the same all round the ground , only guessing but i imagine the capacity would be nearer the 75,000 mark ,imagine the euro nights then ,the teams would * themselves walking into that culdron.

    I love parkhead on euro nights / old firm but best atmosphere I've ever experienced was Old Trafford Champs League game, particularly the 5-10 minutes before kick off.

    That said, it was us that made all the noise!!!
