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.
Gila made his Champions League debut in the victory of Celtic and he took to social media to share his pride with the achievement.
He said: “Qualified and good performance of the team. Keep going like this.
“Thanks to all the fans for the support you have given us.
“Very happy for my debut in the Champions League ”

Lazio could play Arsenal in the next round of the Champions League after the Gunners confirmed their group win with a 6-0 victory over Lens on Wednesday.
However Manchester United could exit the competition following their 3-3 draw with Galatasaray – they now need to beat Bayern Munich to qualify and hope Galatasaray and Copenhagen draw.
