Scottish teams shouldn't even be allowed in this competition. Embarrassing.
A Spainish Masterclass.
Barcelona 7-0 Celtic
Messi hatrick
Suarez brace
One each for Neymar and Iniesta
Brendan Rodgers wishing he was still at Liverpool.

Most teams from most countries would have lost to Barcelona in that kind of form, especially after they lost to Alaves in La Liga last weekend.
Give the man a yellow card!
Madrid eye winning start to UCL defence
Cristiano Ronaldo's boyhood club Sporting are Real Madrid's UCL opponents. Los Blancos are defending their Champions League title and coach Zinedine Zidane is wary of complacency heading into the Bernabeu match.

Man United leave Wayne Rooney, Henrikh Mkhitaryan out of squad
Wayne Rooney has been left out of Manchester United's 20-man squad for the Europa League match at Feyenoord on Thursday.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard, who struggled in Saturday's derby defeat to Manchester City at Old Trafford, will also not travel to Holland.
The squad was announced on United's official website.
Mkhitaryan was selected for the derby despite suffering a thigh injury on international duty with Armenia and United manager Jose Mourinho is expected to address that issue in his news conference on Wednesday.
He was not at an open training session with the rest of the squad in Manchester earlier in the day.
United's regular starting full-backs, Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw, have also both been left at home too -- paving the way for the likes of Matteo Darmian, Marcos Rojo and Tim Fosu-Mensah to stake a claim.

Champions League holders Real Madrid earned a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon in their opening Group F match at the Bernabeu thanks to late goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata.
Bruno Cesar's goal in the 47th minute gave the visitors the lead over the defending champions, but an 89th minute free kick from Ronaldo and a stoppage time header from Morata secured the late win.
Manchester United's winning start to the season did not have Jose Mourinho "on the moon" so their underwhelming back-to-back defeats have not overly concerned the recently appointed manager.
Fresh from losing 2-1 at home to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, United started their Europa League campaign with a whimper.
Uninspired on the attack and unwieldy in possession, Feyenoord eked out a late 1-0 win thanks to Tonny Vilhena's late strike at the imposing-if-partially-closed De Kuip.
Few of United's eight changes impressed as they failed to win on their European travels for a sixth successive match, compounding Saturday's Premier League loss that brought Mourinho's winning start to a shuddering halt.
"When we won the Community Shield and the three Premier League matches, I was not on the moon," the Portuguese said when asked whether the defeats had underlined the scale of the challenge ahead of him.
"I was not saying that we are a phenomenal team and we are going to destroy every opponent.
"I always said it was a very good start but I was never on the moon. I know that the situation is not click your fingers and everybody is perfect.
"But, to be honest, I think we didn't play phenomenal matches in these two defeats, but in both I think it is a punishment for the team because we deserved more than the results we got."
Like the defeat to City, the United boss was frustrated by the officials after Nicolai Jorgensen was not called offside in the build-up to Vilhena's winner.
Another similarity in the Group A opener was Mourinho's belief that the defeat was undeserved, albeit their performance was not brilliant for the duration.
"When you lose matches, there are no miracles in terms of the players' soul," he said. "You win matches and people are happy and full of confidence. You lose matches and people are sad and feel it. That is the normal nature of football players.
"I am here not to let them be in a negative mood or in a negative because we lost two matches in four days.
"Two matches where we didn't play well for 90 minutes, but two matches where we deserve a better result."
Mourinho dismissed the sweeping changes as reason for the defeat -- "I played with enough good players to win the match," he said -- and was pleased by the players' reaction to his half-time pep talk.
The Untied boss admits the introductions were not expected to play with the "same intensity, sharpness, quick thinking" as Feyenoord's team given their comparative lack of game-time, although that is not an excuse Paul Pogba can use.
Signed to much fanfare and for a world-record fee, the France midfielder was anonymous for large parts of the encounter on Thursday.
"I don't like to individualise too much because I answer and your mate comes with another name," Mourinho said when asked about Pogba. "It's something I don't like.
"I think he was like the team. In the first half they were in control but were playing half pace. The second half was when they increased intensity and that was when they conceded the goal."
Feyenoord manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst was as proud as his counterpart was frustrated after upsetting the apple cart and defeating United.
"If you win, you always know it is a good plan but there were moments in the game where we had it tough," the former Arsenal, Rangers and Barcelona player said.
"United upped the tempo and used their physical presence in moments of the game, making it very difficult for us. But we knew that if we could keep the ball against Manchester, there are possibilities.
"In the second half you saw that Man United want to win with the tempo and the three substitutions, you sensed that they want to leave her with the win.
"At the right moment we scored the goal -- a fantastic goal on the counter-attack. After that the spirit came in the team and the determination to be there for the last 15 minutes. We fought hard to get the result and after 90 minutes we did."
Good good... happy to see favorites fail. No just Man Yoo
Then you will be happy to learn that Inter Milan lost at home to Israeli team Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
De Boer admitted he was ready to fail
Mourinho once called Wenger a "specialist in failure".
There is a Friday night English Premier League match today. Chelsea vs Liverpool.
Chelsea's N'Golo Kante can show Liverpool what they are missing on Friday. His task will be to stop attacks and provide control in midfield. Liverpool, meanwhile, might pay for not having an equivalent player.

Rather impressed with the start that Liverpool have made to the season. Continue like this and they could be challenging for the title.
Well done Jurgen Klopp.

They have a strong attack but a weak defence.

Now would be a good time to put a bet on the Hornets.
