Celtic achieved their largest-ever Champions League victory last night in a remarkable 5-1 win over Slovakian champions Slovan Bratislava at Celtic Park. The Hoops were dominant, with goals from Liam Scales, Kyogo Furuhashi, Arne Engels, Adam Idah, and Japanese winger Daizen Maeda.
Maeda’s goal, his first in the Champions League, was a standout moment. He controlled a precise through ball from fellow Japanese international Reo Hatate and slotted it into the bottom corner. After the match, Maeda expressed his delight on X, celebrating the landmark achievement.
Although Maeda’s contributions often go unnoticed, his tireless work off the ball is essential to Brendan Rodgers’ team. The 26-year-old forward is crucial to Celtic’s pressing game and overall strategy, consistently giving maximum effort, even when his team was comfortably ahead.
Once a cult favorite, Maeda has now become a vital player for Celtic, delivering top-level performances both domestically and in Europe.
