Lazio ace laments loss to Celtic.
Lazio fell to their second away defeat in the Europa League as they lost 2-1 to Celtic.
Midfielder Lucas Leiva has lamented the defeat as ‘frustrating’.
Speaking after the game to TMW, Leiva said he feels Lazio did not deserve to lose.
Christophe Jullien scored Celtic’s winner as the home side came back from a goal down.
Former Liverpool midfielder Leiva said: “We lost a game that we deserved at least to draw. Now we have to win the three remaining matches in the group to go on.
“The only way to change things is to work together, as a team I don’t believe in luck. I think if you work well then good things come in. We know, we have to improve. But it’s frustrating!
“I’m frustrated. Losing as we lost is hard to accept.”
Celtic are in control of the group, and if they can get a draw in Rome then it will be a big blow to Lazio.
As Leiva notes, Lazio need to beat Celtic in the return fixture to get back on track. They had lost to Cluj in their previous away game, but did beat Rennes at home.
