Mistakes are immediately punished against Barcelona – Sviatchenko

The 25-year-old defender explained how intense it is playing at Camp Nou, where even the most routine of slips can prove critical

EXCLUSIVE

Celtic defender Erik Sviatchenko says that losing 7-0 at Barcelona was an “eye-opening” experience and that against players of the quality the Catalans boast, even the slightest error can be vital.

Paris Saint-Germain discovered that to their cost on Wednesday, as they were eliminated from the Champions League 6-5 on aggregate, having held a 4-0 lead from the first leg. PSG conceded three times in the last two minutes to suffer elimination on a historic night, but the Dane says these things are possible and must be treated as a “learning experience”.
