Borussia Dortmund produced a devastating attacking display to crush Celtic 7–1 in their UEFA Champions League group-stage encounter on matchday two, firmly asserting their credentials in this season’s competition.
The German side, hosting the tie in Dortmund, dominated the scoreline from start to finish, racking up seven goals while limiting the visitors from Glasgow to a single reply. The emphatic margin gives Dortmund a major boost to their goal difference at this early stage of the league phase and puts them in a strong position in Group play.
For Celtic, the result is a sobering setback in their bid to progress in Europe. Conceding seven times away from home leaves the Scottish champions with work to do in the remaining fixtures, both in terms of points and goal differential, if they are to stay in contention for a knockout spot or a transfer to the UEFA Europa League.
