UEFA Champions League day 1: FC Barcelona 7-0 Celtic Glasgow, Bayern Munich 5-0 Rostov
FC Barcelona did not leave anything to a weak Celtic Glasgow side who got demolished at Camp Nou. Although a penalty missed at the 25th minute [1-0 was the score] could have put the Scottish on the scoreboard, the dominance of the Blaugrana was outrageous and the performance of the trident was brilliant. Messi gave the fans his 4th treble in Champions League while Suarez added a brace of his own for a perfect evening in Spain. Coach Enrique comments the easy win:
“We practically didn’t commit any mistakes. The players had fun, and that allowed the Barça supporters to have fun. The team did a lot of good things. he continued. We played so well, the approach of our opponents didn’t matter in the least.
Messi’s the best player in the world, at whatever position he plays. Messi is total football. Suárez never ceases to create pressure and work hard. Even though he didn’t have his best day, we knew he’d end up scoring.”
Bayern Munich did not encounter any difficulty to overcome the Russian for Carlo Ancelotti first Champions League ahead of the club. His reaction after the win:
“We made a good start to the Champions League. It was difficult at the beginning because there was very little space. We relied on crosses. It was easier after the first goal. I’m very pleased. We’re able to compete for the title, but our first goal is to win the group.”
