Celtic player ratings v Real Madrid as Jota nets goal to remember but hosts class blows Hoops away

Real Madrid put Celtic to the sword in the Hoops' final Champions League match of the season with a 5-1 rout of the Scottish champions.

Ange Postecoglou's side already knew they were heading out of Europe in Group F's last place after failing to win any of their first five matches in the section that also included RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk. A trip to the trophy holders started in the worst possible fashion when Luka Modric converted a penalty off a Moritz Jenz handball. Then another from Matt O'Riley following a VAR check allowed Rodrygo to double their advantage from 12 yards

It was then the away side's turn to get a penalty after Liel Abada was fouled in the box but Josip Juranovic was unable to covert his brilliant chance. It soon got worse after half-time as Marco Asensio, Vinicius JR and Federico Valverde goals made sure this stint on the continent ended in a rout for the Glasgow side, but Jota scored a free-kick to remember as a consolation. Postecoglou's men end this section on two points and now turn their attentions to retaining the Premiership title. Here is how we rated the Celtic players in the Spanish capital.
