KARIM ADEYEMI SCORED three goals in the first half as Borussia Dortmund handed Celtic a brutal Champions League reality check, winning 7-1 at home.
The Germany forward was subbed off three minutes into the second half but the visitors were spared any respite, Guirassy scoring an excellent solo goal and Felix Nmecha netting a late strike. The lightning-fast Jamie Gittens was felled in the box by Kasper Schmeichel, bringing Can to the spot, the captain converting for his first goal in the competition since his Liverpool days in 2017.
With Celtic looking longingly at the clock with half-time approaching, Adeyemi completed his hat trick, pouncing on a poor clearance and curling past Schmeichel. Elsewhere, Inter Milan won their first match of this season’s revamped Champions League by sweeping aside Red Star Belgrade 4-0 at the San Siro.
