Ange Postecoglou's high risk Celtic style at home in Champions League and can bloody Real's nose - Chris Sutton

Ange Postecoglou is a pure footballing coach and his high-risk approach won’t be out of place in the Champions League.

The Celtic manager is determined to do it his way and why shouldn’t he? Has he not earned the right to do so? And, anyway, it makes no sense for a manager to coach players for an entire season to play one way and then ask them to rip it up and do something the opposite on the biggest stage of the lot.

Celtic build from the back, they take risks. It’s the same approach as Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. Obviously, Guardiola has a higher standard of player at his disposal, but this young team of Postecoglou’s are having great success with it and I fully believe they can give Real Madrid a bloody nose by going at it in this manner. I’ve got to say, this Celtic team under Postecoglou are a great watch. They are so fast and fluid and some of the football is a joy.

I’m well aware there’s more than one way to get the job done. I recall Neil Lennon’s team beating Barcelona a decade ago with barely any possession. That was a hang-in-the-game backs-to-the-wall job.

Postecoglou won’t be doing that. He’s said as much. Celtic have every right to have a go at the European champions tomorrow night and they’ll be confident about it after the way they steamrollered Rangers.

All I’ll say is that, when that system and style of Postecoglou’s is working on full throttle, there’s not a lot
