Celtic supporters branded 'best in the world' for Bernabeu party after Real Madrid defeat

Thousands of Celtic supporters turned the Bernabeu into a party venue with jubilant fans serenading their heroes on the concourses and the streets after the game.

Despite losing 5-1, Celtic supporters were in a cracking mood. Celtic fans have waited a generation to sample the iconic stadium in the Spanish capital and were in no rush to let the moment pass as they exited the ground in fine fettle chanting their version of 'Bella Ciao'.

A video has been doing the rounds on social media of Celtic fans singing their hearts out while exiting the stadium after the defeat. The Spanish supporters certainly seemed to enjoy The Hoops fans antics, with one Spanish punter commenting that Celtic were the best fans to visit the Bernabeu so far this season reports The Daily Record.

Celtic fans saluted their side at the end and it’s only made Ange Postecoglou even more determined to deliver. He said: “Their support is unbelievable. Obviously we’ve lost 5-1. I don’t think anyone enjoys that kind of defeat. Their reaction after the game was not just them trying to make us feel good, I think they can appreciate what the players are trying to do.

“That gives us, and certainly me, massive motivation to reward them. To make sure we qualify again next year and next year we perform better and give them more moments like Jota ’s. Because that is what they deserve. Ultimately I am responsible for the approach we have taken and how we have gone about things and I would have wanted to repay them for their support.”
