Celtic - Arsenal, 0 - 2. Celtic Park, Glasgow, Scotland, 2009-08-18
Never really good and never really bad, that's Massimo Busacca. Missing a few and allowing a lot (one may be the cause of the other). Busacca was exactly the way he was as in all his other matches.

Oh boy, what a drag. Celtic had one shot on goal (one!) and both Arsenal goals were accidental. Again this year we can see more matches than ever. Do we want to?
