A Moment in Time: Henrik's goal sends the Celts to Seville

Henrik Larsson scored 242 goals in 315 appearances for Celtic over a seven-year period at the club.
There were many great goals and significant strikes within that impressive tally which makes him the third top goalscorer in Celtic's history.
And one of the most important came 20 years ago, on April 24, 2003, in the Estádio do Bessa XXI, home of Portuguese side, Boavista.
It was the second leg of the UEFA Cup semi-final, with the tie finely balanced after a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Celtic Park.

Larsson Sutton hartson all up front. Those were the days. If only big John could’ve played in the final

[@cjc201]

What a team we had. They deserved to win that trophy.

[@moky1269]

That team is miles ahead of the current one hail hail 💚💚💚

[@PaulDavis-qm7to]

We weren't good enough in the end. We were excellent, but Porto were better.

[@iamthewalruscuckookachoo1372]

Naw yi didnae

[@Winter-gf9nt]

​@@PaulDavis-qm7to Porto weren't better we were reduced to 10 men then subjected to the ridiculous silver goal rule which were it not for that Celtic would've scored again I'm certain

[@cjc201]

@Moky I would say that team was second only to the Lisbon Lions. This team has the potential but only time will tell if they can get up to them levels.

Thanks Memories Larsson king 👑 of kings 🎉

I am 56 and that is the best celtic team I've had the privilege and pleasure of watching HH YNWA

[@bigred7318]

That was my best Larsson goal, I still don't know how he put it in and I've watched it a million times...☘️⚽🍀

I was only 38 great memories fantastic 💚💚💚

KING HENRIK 🍀

[@GameKulture]

What a team 🥰🙌💚

[@JoP444]

Absolute limbs ....what memories 🍀💚

[@hendriekevin4171]

Can you imagine if we had a decent keeper in goals. Even David Marshall would have saved at least 1 of Portos poor goals..So near but yet so far.

[@kerrydevlin]

What an amazing player! Celtic will always be proud of this man xx

[@darthdanny2806]

I wish we could redo that and win another European trophy

[@Fenetikmusic]

Memories man 💚💚💚

[@martinkennedy2400]

...Henrik Larsson was like Fred Astaire dancing so deftly in the box for that key goal

[@stephenreilly3464]

I remember that game.

[@dawaeyt8653]

The commentator telling Larsson how he should be scoring 😂😂😂

[@richardmclellan2763]

Unbelievable emotions I was standing In the bovista section ( full of hoops/ great crack with the bovista fans✅✅😂

[@pessf400]

Mind watching and just couldn’t get over the feeling that it was all ending on that night and then the king done what the king does 🍀

[@Fazzat333]

I was in Seville HH

[@jabber67]

Wonderful 🍀

[@martin756]

Best ever

[@paddy.g4182]

💯💯💯👏👏

[@1888.cfc.]

And then we were cheated and robbed of the final win. I've never watched that game since that night and I never will. Still raw. 😈

[@charlie6613]

I mind that moment. Me my da, my best mate, my 2 brothers and my maw...tears and joy it was euphoria

[@kieranmccabe]

Can we please get to a Europa League final soon 🍀😒

[@dougmasters4579]

you need to be able to defend to do well in Europe. Ange and Rodgers teams can't defend at a higher level. Play the same way against Real Madrid as we do against Ross County. It doesn't work.

[@kieranmccabe]

@@dougmasters4579 I know mate we defended atrociously in the UCL especially in the away games

[@dougmasters4579]

@@kieranmccabe Yeah that's true, Kieran. The seville season was one of my favourites as a Celtic fan. I hope new generations of Celtic fans can experience a season like that.

[@pessf400]

@@dougmasters4579 worked for an hour against Madrid at parked we shoulda been a couple goals up. Getting players who can’t keep the energy and concentration for 90mins is the key.

[@CrowTails88]

The journey to Seville built on a defensive system with a Plan A & B …… every manager from Ferguson to Pep changes tactics for European football ⚽️ 🍀🍀🍀 Think Celtic could play attacking football in that European cup West Ham are in but playing all out attack In champions league is suicidal & guaranteed it’s a 3rd or 4th place finish in group 🍀

[@hendriekevin4171]

Especially with Rab in goals..yeah he saved a few but fuck me he lost the final imo.

[@davidfay2722]

@@dougmasters4579 Agreed, sent off in final but when i look at Portos goals im like Fuck me, Boruc or any decent keeper would have got a hand to those goals. still a bit gutted is fair to say lol.

[@dougmasters4579]

@@hendriekevin4171 yeah MON's blind spot was keeper. I think MON said if Lubo was a few years younger we'd have beaten Porto. But also if Boruc was a few years older (and we signed him instead of Hedman) then we'd have won, too. But balde's sending off and also his handball in Lyon was really bad.

[@leannecampbell4551]

Two hurting Huns in the commentary box too, absolutely glorious!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@quackingsteve5009]

I remember we used to mute the commentary and put on the radio when this was the commentary team. they could never hide their hurt 😂

Rab Douglas makes a mistake? Again? Worst goalkeeper in the history of the game never mind ours.
