Trophy: Champions League
The one statistic that most Celtic supporters are proud to boast about is the fact that in 1967, they became the first British team to win the European Cup, a feat that Rangers have never yet come close to achieving. Over 40 years later though (with the European Cup since renamed the Champions League) they've yet to repeat this. So I thought I'd take it upon myself to change that.
EA's Champions League game uses a modified version of the FIFA 07 enging and is a reasonably enjoyable game, but there are much better football games on the 360 in my book (such as, obviously, the latest PES and FIFA incarnations.
Anyway, the tournament was relatively straightforward and I managed to get through the twelve games needed to get to the final without too much hassle. The final (against Valencia) was a slightly trickier affair, and it took a goal in Extra Time to secure a win.
Anyway, enjoy a video of that Extra Time winner, a video of the subsequent celebrations, and three screenshots highlighting 1) Celtic lifting the cup, 2) how ugly and generic the Celtic players look, and 3) the ever-necessary screen that just shows text saying you won the cup, even though you've sat through a perfectly clear video sequence showing this.
Oh, and have a look at the stadium where the final takes place: it's a bizarre made-up arena with a big Champions League "star ball" logo for a roof. Fair enough, I suppose.
