Lazio beat Celtic in the reverse fixture and Feyenoord at home to qualify – but must beat Atletico Madrid to win the group.

However it appears defender Gila is not too fussed about topping the group as he got celebrations underway with a fancy purchase.

The 23-year-old bought black BMW M8 Competition opaque which is valued at £170,000.

The eight-cylinder engine gives the BMW a top speed of 250 km/h and it can do 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds.

“Thanks to all the fans for the support you have given us.

“Very happy for my debut in the Champions League 😁😁”
