Celtic Falls to Twente in Historic Debut

Dutch champions Twente defeated Celtic 2-0 in their Women's Champions League debut, with Kayleigh van Dooren scoring both goals. Despite starting confidently, Celtic struggled to capitalize on their opportunities and were ultimately outclassed by Twente's experience in the competition. Head coach Elena Sadiku acknowledged the difficulties of competing at this level but remains optimistic about future performances. This match marked a historic moment for Celtic as they became the first Scottish team to reach the group stage of the Women's Champions League. The loss highlighted the importance of fine margins at this elite level, as defensive miscommunications and missed chances were punished. Celtic now faces a challenging schedule with upcoming matches against Real Madrid and Chelsea.
