Barcelona 7-0 Celtic, 2016 Champions League: Match Review

Barcelona put their shocking defeat to Alaves in the rear-view mirror with the hammering of Celtic. The Catalans embarrassed the Scots to the tune of 7-0. Celtic hardly featured in the game, but had they converted their penalty kick the story could’ve been different. However, three from Lionel Messi, two from Luis Suarez and one each from Neymar and Andres Iniesta handed the Scots their biggest European defeat in their long history.

Barcelona started the game in dream fashion, opening the scoring just three minutes after the opening kickoff. With a lovely pass Neymar found Messi open on the left side of the area.
