Celtic signed Moussa Dembele from Fulham during the summer transfer window.
Moussa Dembele has told the Daily Mail that he knew Celtic were a side which belonged in the Champions League, before he even signed for them.
Dembele joined Celtic from Fulham last summer, and he has made an immediate impact at Parkhead.
The youngster has broken straight in Brendan Rodgers’ starting line-up, and his two goals against Manchester City proved his class last night.
In the contest, Celtic managed to take the lead three times, and they claimed a 3-3 draw against Pep Guardiola’s in form side.
Dembele feels that the Bhoys’ performance proved they belonged with Europe’s elite, even though they lost 7-0 against Barcelona in their first Champions League match of the season.
“When I signed for Celtic I knew this team belongs to the Champions League and nights like that, fans showed us great support and I’m happy to get the result,” he said.
Dembele’s double was brilliantly taken against City. The French striker first headed home in the opening stages of the match, before showing his athleticism to score an overhead kick in the second half.
Dembele has now scored 12 goals in all competitions already this season, and there is great excitement for his future at the Glasgow club.
Dembele’s next chance to impress for Rodgers’ side is likely to come at the weekend, when Celtic take on Dundee.
