[quote=JIMMYB,37536]On the hour-mark, Maldini anticipated McGeady's run into the box as he tried to get behind Vennegoor of Hesselink's clever assist. Gordon Strachan made his first substitution soon after with Thomas Gravesen replacing Jarosik. Gravesen almost made an immediate impact but his powerful strike inside the area was blocked by Maldini. On 71 minutes, McManus was forced to make a vital clearance from Inzaghi's header while seconds later Massimo Ambrosini's header fizzed wide of the far post. In the 84th minute, Boruc made a decisive save from Maldini's close-range header. While at the other end, Celtic fans demanded a penalty after Ambrosini had pushed Nakamura inside the area but the referee played on. Boruc kept Celtic's Champions League hopes alive with a stunning save from Seedorf's strike before Kaka struck the crossbar in what was the last opportunity in normal time. Celtic finally conceded early in extra time and the goal proved a hammer blow for Celtic and they almost gave away a second shortly after with Pirlo's close-range effort forcing Boruc to dive to his left to clear. The Hoops never lost hope but mustered little with the exception of a Gravesen's effort. Boruc kept his team's hopes alive with a one-handed save from Pirlo's right-footed shot. At the other end, Craig Beattie's header from Neil Lennon's cross went high over the crossbar as time ran out for Celtic.[/quote]
