Celtic Park Atmosphere Proves Decisive as RB Leipzig Midfielder Kevin Kampl Offers Honest Assessment

Celtic’s stunning Champions League victory over RB Leipzig has garnered widespread acclaim, with the Scottish champions’ fans playing a pivotal role in the triumph. Leipzig midfielder Kevin Kampl has acknowledged the intimidating atmosphere at Celtic Park, admitting it affected his team’s performance.

The Slovenian international, with 585 professional appearances, confessed that even he struggled to cope with the electric atmosphere, despite having played in high-pressure matches against Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and in Turkey with his national team.

“Shortly after the game, it’s difficult to classify it. It took us five minutes to accept the atmosphere, the game, then we had everyone under control until the 35th minute,” Kampl told Leipziger Volkszeitung. “We take the lead and still have chances to increase. The double blow then brought us back down to earth. The mood came back, the atmosphere pushed Celtic.”

Kampl’s candid assessment highlighted the significance of Celtic Park’s atmosphere in influencing the outcome. “If we make it 2-0 in the first half, we can make the stadium even quieter. So it was difficult in the second half. We tried everything, but Celtic had an answer to everything. They were not impressed.”

He added, “We were always a step too late and then it was an endurance run… There was no more in the second half. You have to be that honest. This is very bitter. We didn’t let ourselves be surprised, but we also played against a great team and of course, the stadium is something special.”

Celtic’s fans have a reputation for creating an formidable atmosphere, having previously intimidated teams like Barcelona, AC Milan, and Manchester United. As Brendan Rodgers’ side prepares to face Club Brugge next, another three points would be a significant milestone, and the Celtic support will undoubtedly play a crucial role.
