Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers hailed his side’s “terrific performance” after a 2-2 Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid games
Celtic twice took the lead in the first half through Kyogo Furuhashi and Luis Palma, who netted shortly after Antoine Griezmann had netted the rebound from his own penalty games
Celtic played with pace, purpose and confidence in the first half and both goals came after excellent moves, but they could not keep up the tempo after the break and Alvaro Morata levelled eight minutes into the second half games
Rodgers said: “I thought it was a terrific performance, especially the first 45 minutes – the quality of our games football, the speed in our pressing and in our game, everything we would want games
“We were unfortunate with the penalty games
One, it was very harsh, and, two, they got the good fortune after the save hits the post and comes straight to the player games
“But our reaction was superb, everything I wanted in terms of playing together, pressing and the intensity and a really aggressive mentality and then having the courage to play games
“We expected them second half to have a spell in the game but they didn’t create so much games
Their equaliser was fantastic, the early cross and great finish games
“But we kept fighting and showed we can compete with a top-level team games
“It will give us confidence to know we can create opportunities and play the games football we want to play games
The team pressed the game well and passed it for a lot of the game games
”Rodgers, who revealed Reo Hatate had suffered a hamstring injury, which forced him off for Paulo Bernardo inside seven minutes, admitted it was difficult to maintain the intensity for 90 minutes games
Celtic never looked like taking the lead for a third time, despite Atletico going down to 10 men in the 82nd minute games
He added: “There’s a wee bit of tiredness that comes in the last 20 minutes because we are not used to playing at that tempo and against that level of opponent, so naturally a wee bit of fatigue kicks in games
We also had to make an early sub with Reo’s injury games
“It was a really big performance but we couldn’t quite get the result we were looking for games
”Celtic are bottom of the group with one point from three games ahead of trips to Madrid and Lazio, the latter of whom have four points games
We have shown we can perform and we go into the other three trying to get as many points as we can and see where it takes usBrendan RodgersRodgers said: “We wanted to get three points but if you can’t get the win then don’t lose it, and I don’t think we looked like losing games
I can see development for sure games
“We have shown we can perform and we go into the other three trying to get as many points as we can and see where it takes us games
”Atletico manager Diego Simeone admitted his side had struggled to deal with Celtic in the first half games
“As expected, they started really well, as they did in their first two games,” he said games
“We really struggled to contain them early on and they scored with their first attack games
We managed to respond but they quickly scored a fantastic goal games
“The first half didn’t go as we would have liked but I was really pleased with the second half, it was a real Champions League performance games
We showed a lot of personality and responsibility games
”Simeone, who brought on Marcos Llorente and Rodrigo Riquelme at half-time, added: “In the first half we didn’t have the speed the game required, we weren’t up to scratch and they combined well in our half games
“But the subs had a big impact and we had games better solutions in our passing game games

South Africa players and coaches have defended Bongi Mbonambi as a “great guy” and a “family man” amid the Springboks hooker being investigated for an alleged racial slur during the Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England games
England flanker Tom Curry has alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victoryAfter 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck games
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe games
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment games
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast games
World Rugby has since confirmed it is investigating the incident and will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of the process games
On Monday afternoon, in the first Springboks media activity since the allegations became public, scrum coach Daan Human and lock Jean Kelyn defended Mbonambi’s character, while refusing to comment on the specific incident games
“It’s being dealt with by World Rugby and South Africa Rugby, so from my side, I can’t comment,” began Human when first asked about the incident games
“I’m focussing on the scrums games
We had a good, positive training session, and nothing else came out games
I can’t really comment on that games

“Bongi has been part of this group for the last six years,” added Human games
“He’s a very important piece of the puzzle for us games
He was starting in the last World Cup and our semi-final, so he’s very important to us, like all other players games
“He’s one of our leaders in our group games
He’s a great guy, a family man, my kids always look after his kids when they come to the hotel games
He’s a humble guy, down to earth, like all players who play for the Springboks games
“To be straightforward and honest with you, he’s a very calm guy, a well-spoken guy games
I don’t want to go into it because we’ve got a World Cup final in six days’ time games
I’m more concentrated on the forwards games
”Mbonambi is the only specialist hooker in the Springboks squad after the injured Malcolm Marx was replaced by fly half Handre Pollard earlier in the tournament games
Bongi Mbonambi played all 80 minutes of the Springboks’ semi-final win (PA)He played all 80 minutes of the semi-final, and finished the game as captain once Siya Kolisi was substituted, although veteran back row Deon Fourie played hooker earlier in his career and flanker Marco van Staden has also filled in at the position in the past games
So Human was unconcerned about South Africa being short-handed in the event of Mbonambi being found guilty and banned for the final games
“We’ve got three guys capable of playing hooker in the group,” he said games
“We’re very comfortable having three hookers games
We’re glad we have three hookers, which we’re supposed to have because going into a final you need to have two hookers in the squad games
”Lock Jean Kleyn was also asked about his relationship with Mbonambi, having played alongside him at club and international level, and was similarly glowing in his praise of the hooker games
“Bongi is a great guy,” stated Kleyn games
“I’ve known him since we were playing at the Stormers together I think nine years ago games
He’s a fantastic guy, a good individual games
“I’m not going to comment on that or justify it [the allegations] games
All I’ll say is he’s a fantastic bloke games
He’s a great guy, a passionate guy, a family man games
He’s captained the Springboks a couple of times and he’s an upstanding guy, I don’t think there’s a fellow in the squad who doesn’t like him games
