Messi, Neymar humiliate Celtic with incredible goal

Nothing personified Barcelona's demolition of Celtic more than Messi and Neymar virtually walking the ball past nine defenders and into the net.

Andres Iniesta scored with a cracking volley, Luis Suarez's chest to control and volley of his own was sensational and Neymar belted home a free-kick up and over the wall.

But the goal that had everyone drooling was the moment the two bleach-blonde superstars surged through virtually the whole Celtic team with some slick passing and incredible ball movement, ending with Messi slotting home the second of his three goals.

"The scoreline is bitterly disappointing," admitted Celtic manager Brendan Rogers, while Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitic tweeted: "Not a bad way to start this season's Champions League."

"There can be no embarassment because they do that to better teams than ourselves," said Rodgers.

"They are special players. It is a front three that can occupy as many players as you want.

"We had a back five, but their movement speed and touch combined, they are world class players and they showed that tonight."
