Real Madrid hand Celtic harsh lesson despite Karim Benzema blow - 5 talking points

Real Madrid began their defence of the Champions League with a convincing 3-0 win over Celtic in Glasgow on Tuesday.

The Hoops were dominant up until the half hour mark before Carlo Ancelotti's side got into their stride. It took until the start of the second half for Los Blancos to open the scoring, however, with Vinicius Jr slotting home. This was before goals from Luka Modrid and Eden Hazard sealed the points on the opening night of the group stages.

In the other game of the group, Shakhtar Donetsk romped to a shock 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig, with former Celtic flop Marian Shved scoring twice, while Mykhalio Mudryk and Lassina Traore also found the net. Real are still expected to dominate the group and started it as they mean to go on with a fantastic win at Celtic Park.
