Henrik Larsson believes the victory over Barcelona eclipsed anything he achieved in Celtic colours.
Larsson helped Celtic knock the Catalan giants out of the 2004 UEFA Cup – a year after Martin O'Neill's team lost in the final.
But the former Barcelona striker said the 2-1 Champions League win surpassed that result and claimed it was the greatest win at Parkhead in the club's 125-year history.
"Beating Barcelona with the team they have now has to be the best experience, it beats everything I have been involved in myself.
"But also the way you heard the fans through the television, everyone is raving about the atmosphere. They were fantastic again. It's the best result against any team there at Parkhead because you're playing against the world's best team, and the amount of money they have. Being able to do that is fantastic and to see it shows you anything is possible in football. You might have a great team on paper but you still have to play for it."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
