Celtic’s European dream is shattered: Stuttgart brutally thrashes them 1-4
Celtic dreams of making history in the UEFA Europa League after their match against Stuttgart.
In an exciting match in the UEFA Europa League, a great disappointment was seen at Celtic Park, as Martin O’Neill’s team would end up being thrashed on this matchday in a surprising way against Stuttgart.
By a 1-4 thrashing, this match between Celtic and Stuttgart would end, where the home side was expected to be strong at home, but the great performance that the German team brought highlighted the superiority of physical and competitive play they currently have.
Tie settled for Celtic after the hard defeat against the Germans
With high expectations, Celtic arrived after bringing a positive record in this 2026, where they accumulated their second defeat of the year, but it was a painful defeat, 1-4 against Stuttgart in the UEFA Europa League Play-Offs.
Now, with this result at Celtic Park, it leaves The Hoops with one foot out for the next round, so their elimination is practically confirmed.
After this hard blow, Celtic will seek a historic comeback in Germany against one of the best teams in the Bundesliga, like Stuttgart. However, it is a feat that seems impossible.
Martin O’Neill will seek to focus on his great moment in the Scottish Premiership and in the Scottish Cup to fully compete to become champion of every local competition, after his European dream collapsed after today’s matchday.
