Moritz Jenz’s dream of playing against Real Madrid in the Champions League will come true after the Hoops were drawn against the holders in the group stages.
Ange Postecoglou’s side were put into Group F alongside the Spanish giants, who beat Liverpool in last season’s final to increase their record in the European football’s elite club tournament to 14 wins, German outfit RB Leipzig and Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.
It is the first time the Parkhead club have been in the Champions League since 2017/18 and they will face Real Madrid for the first time in 42 years, since they lost 3-2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals of the European Cup in 1980.
Jenz, the 23-year-old German defender who joined Celtic on loan from Ligue 1 side Lorient last month, is delighted with the chance to take on the Spanish club in particular.
