    Borussia Dortmund crush Celtic 7-1 in Champions League: Key stats

    What's the story

    Borussia Dortmund handed Scottish side Celtic a crushing blow in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 season.

    Last season's finalists Dortmund, claimed a 7-1 win in matchweek 2.

    The Scottish team entered the match on a high note after securing nine consecutive victories across all competitions this season.

    However, they were unable to withstand the onslaught from the Bundesliga side, with simple errors proving detrimental.

    Initial dominance

    Dortmund's early lead sets tone for victory

    Dortmund, last season's runners-up and boasting an impressive 12-game unbeaten streak at home in the Champions League, were off to a flying start.

    Their captain, Emre Can, netted the opener from the spot after Celtic's Kasper Schmeichel brought down Jamie Gittens.

    This early goal really set the stage for Dortmund's control over the match.

    Scoring spree

    Celtic's brief comeback overshadowed by Dortmund's scoring spree

    Celtic had a moment of hope with Daizen Maeda finding the net, but it was short-lived as Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi struck twice.

    Serhou Guirassy then converted a penalty after Arne Engels fouled Adeyemi in the box, making it 4-1.

    This scoring spree only strengthened Dortmund's grip on the match and dimmed Celtic's chances of a comeback.

    Hat-trick heroics

    Adeyemi's hat-trick and Guirassy's 2nd goal

    Adeyemi had already bagged his hat-trick before halftime, putting Celtic on the back foot.

    In the second half, Guirassy added his second and Dortmund's sixth.

    This relentless scoring spree by Dortmund showcased their offensive prowess and left Celtic struggling to keep up.

    Adeyemi's hat-trick takes him to five goals this season in all competitions this season. Overall, he has smashed 19 goals for the Black and Yellow.

    Final blow

    Nmecha's goal adds to Celtic's woes in Dortmund defeat

    Felix Nmecha, who came off the bench for Dortmund, added insult to injury by netting the seventh goal against Celtic.

    This final blow sealed Dortmund's overwhelming victory and marked a disappointing end for Celtic in the Champions League match.

    The 7-1 defeat underscored the stark contrast between the two teams' performances on the field.

    Information

    2nd German player with this record

    As per Opta, Adeyemi is the second German player to score three goals in the first half of a Champions League match after Mario Gomez in November 2011 against Napoli (for Bayern Munich).

    Information

    Here are the match stats

    In a dominating display, Dortmund had 13 shots on target from 16 attempts. Celtic were left with nine attempts and two shots on target. Dortmund had 53% ball possession and clocked an 87% pass accuracy.
