******************************
Celtic were certainly up for this tie, and brought all of the grit and determination that we'd expected to see from the Scots. But at this level, brute strength isn't everything.
Fans of British soccer always point to the game's innate physicality in the UK, the battling nature of the players and their willingness and ability to "get stuck in." Against the continent's finest sides, however, you need more than just aggression; you need ability, too.
For all their physicality, Celtic could not hide the gulf in class between themselves and the visitors. This shouldn't be read as a slight on the Glaswegians, but rather as a clarification for anyone who still believes that simply being rough and ready is enough to prevail.
Juventus were physical and well-organised, willing to tackle and happy to take the blows from the boys in green. But crucially, they were also light-footed and delicate with the ball when they needed to be; they were capable of skillful exchange and clever footballing. And in the end, it was that which made all the difference.
Might, whatever they say, is not always right.
