Heartbreak was the ultimate Champions League taste Brendan Rodgers and Celtic were left with on Wednesday night as Lazio turned the tables on them with a 2-1 win.

Back in 2019, the Hoops struck late against the Serie A side to score some vital Europa League points but it was a different story in the Premiership champions' first Group E game at home this season.

Kyogo put the Parkhead hosts into the lead to lift the roof off the stadium but a leveller from Matias Vecino before half-time and Pedro's 95th-minute header punished Celtic brutally.

It leaves Rodgers' men on zero points from two games with Maurizio Sarri's men and Arne Slot's Feyenoord, with a double-header against Atletico Madrid now beckoning.
