Celtic FC and Union Berlin, two European football clubs from distinct backgrounds, are preparing for an exciting clash at Celtic Park.
Established in 1887, Celtic FC is an iconic club renowned for its domestic dominance. They’ve racked up more than 50 Scottish Premiership titles. Yet, Celtic's legacy extends beyond Scotland, highlighted by their 1967 European Cup triumph when they defeated Inter Milan in a historic final.
Celtic has been a regular participant in the UEFA Champions League in recent years, but they’ve repeatedly struggled to reach the latter stages. Their best recent campaign occurred in the 2012/13 season, beating FC Barcelona 2-1 on a memorable night in Glasgow. They qualified from their group ahead of SL Benfica, but bowed out to Juventus in the round of 16.
Union Berlin, hailing from Germany's capital, has a remarkably different history to that of Celtic’s. To start, they’ve never won a major trophy in their history. In the 21st century, Union Berlin climbed the ranks of German football before making their Bundesliga debut in 2019. Union Berlin quickly established themselves as a competitive presence in the Bundesliga, securing a UEFA Champions League berth for the first time in the 2023/24 season.
