Gotta tell you guys, it sure feels good to catch the bookies "off guard" (which is very rare) once in a while like today in the Milan-Celtic game   ...
...Lisbon and Portugal sure are a "lucky charm" for Celtic.
It was in Lisbon (Portugal) that Celtic won their European Trophy in the 60's...and Benfica's win tonight helped Celtic moving to the next stage of the CL.
Good luck for the next stage to all the Celtic friends here in the forum and come back to Lisbon again next year (we sure enjoy your visit as it means that we're both in the CL  ...).
I sure hope Benfica makes it far in the UEFA Cup.

Cheers mate, thanks a lot to Benfica! As i said earlier i always felt our best chance of progressing stood with Benfica as after a poor start to the group yous really played well, unlike Shakhtar who faded away.
Yup the magic of Lisbon lives on after tonight, I think Benfica can go far in the UEFA Cup, a more than decent side.
Wouldn't mind Oporto though in the next round, some unfinished business there
