Celtic Coach Martin O'Neill made a statement after the Beşiktaş victory.

Speaking at the press conference held after the match, O'Neill said, "We created chances for ourselves throughout the match and were able to achieve this result. They achieved everything I told the team. My players demonstrated the requirements of football. The changes yielded results. I am very pleased with the team's performance." he said.

Stating that the changes he made were rewarded, O'Neill said, "Today, those who came from the bench did their part in the best way possible. We showed our level. This match was an indicator of what we can do in the league and in Europe. It is a perfect win in every respect. There is no question that should be raised about this. The character, form and performance of the players cannot be questioned. I have been in charge of such a great team for a while. We have been chasing great performance since I arrived. We played a very difficult match. Our only aim here was to score the goal. We played a lot of passing game and controlled the ball. "We tried to find out. There was a design behind the changes. We played what was supposed to happen. If you play in big European matches like this, you have to be ready for disappointment, but my players did not disappoint me." made his assessment.
