Celtic fans received a major boost ahead of their highly-anticipated Champions League clash with Bayern Munich as the club successfully appealed Daizen Maeda’s two-match suspension. The Japanese superstar, who has been in scintillating form this season, will now be available for the first leg against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
Maeda’s availability is a significant morale boost for the team, and fans are ecstatic about the news. The 25-year-old forward has been Celtic’s standout player this season, and his absence would have been deeply felt. However, thanks to the club’s successful appeal, Maeda will now be able to take to the pitch and face off against one of Europe’s top teams.
Maeda’s impressive form was on full display at the weekend, as he scored a hat-trick against Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup. His goalscoring exploits have made him a fan favorite at Celtic Park, and his presence in the team is a major factor in Celtic’s chances of success.
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton reacted to the news with a simple “Good news” on Twitter, but the significance of Maeda’s availability cannot be overstated. The Japanese forward’s pace, skill, and goalscoring ability make him a nightmare for opposing defenders, and his presence in the team will give Bayern Munich’s backline plenty to think about.
Maeda’s presence could make all the difference in the match, potentially turning a likely defeat into a surprise win. Celtic’s chances of progressing in the Champions League just got a whole lot brighter, and fans are eagerly anticipating the match.
The club’s successful appeal is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Celtic staff, who have worked tirelessly to ensure that Maeda is available for the biggest match of the season. With Maeda leading the charge, Celtic fans will be hoping for a memorable night at Celtic Park.
