Celtic will be begging for the final 15 minutes of their match with Atletico Madrid to go quickly. The hosts have been ruthless so far, and having scored goals three and four in quick succession in the second half, they have now added a fifth.
Antoine Griezmann got the ball rolling for Atleti inside six minutes, and Diego Simeone’s side’s evening got a whole lot easier when Daizen Maeda was controversially sent off following a challenge on Mario Hermoso.
Alvaro Morata made it 2-0 before half time, before second half efforts from Griezmann and Samuel Lino further extended Atleti’s lead. It’s now 5-0, with the latest goal coming from Morata, who has continued his excellent scoring streak with another two goals on the night.
🚨🚨| GOAL: INSANE finish by Morata.
