Rodgers had mapped out a year of learning from a Majorca base camp before the Celtic return opportunity knocked.
Brendan Rodgers admits he could easily have been sat in the stands tonight watching Celtic take on Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona or Seville, they really opened the doors for me. They gave me a comprehensive education on how a really good club operates from top to tail. “The plan was to set up basecamp in Majorca and travel from there all around Europe. I could very easily have been sat in the stand for this game watching Celtic take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. But I am very, very lucky to be on the touchline.”
“Maybe British teams, not just Scottish teams, may have felt inferior from a technical level, but I don’t think that’s the case. You look at the players over the last campaign, they played very well. You look at them in this campaign and on a technical and tactical level, they have been very, very good.
