Outstanding performance
VfB Stuttgart•MidfielderStuttgart dominated Celtic at Parkhead with a clinical four-goal display that saw Bilal El Khannouss bag a first-half brace to establish control. Despite Benjamin Nygren's quick equalizer after falling behind, the German side showed superior quality throughout, with Jamie Leweling's spectacular strike from distance effectively killing the contest early in the second half. Celtic's Europa League campaign now hangs in the balance after this comprehensive defeat, while Stuttgart's impressive away performance demonstrates their growing confidence on the continental stage.
