Neil Lennon reflects on masterminding Celtic's back-to-back wins against Lazio in 2019.
It was a night in the Eternal City that will live forever in the mind of Neil Lennon as one of the high points of his career.
"It can raise your game," Lennon said of the atmosphere at Celtic Park for the sides' first group encounter."I decided to change the formation," recalled Lennon. "We went from 4-3-3 to 3-5-2 and matched them up. That worked perfectly. "He could be a threat and he was very good in both boxes aerially," Lennon said of the French defender. "He came up with some big goals for Celtic. It was a great ball and he timed the run perfectly.For the return in Rome, Celtic looked to end a record of never having beaten an Italian side away in 13 attempts.
"We'd gone out a day earlier than we normally do and took the boys out, let them rest a little bit, went a little walk around Rome, the Colosseum and the Vatican. When it came to the game, they were really champing at the bit to play."Celtic players celebrated after a famous night at the Olympic Stadium in Rome
