Celtic has a lot to be proud of, most notably a 64-match domestic unbeaten streak that’s left the rest of Scotland with absolutely nothing to do. But in Champions League play, the Bhoys have gotten a little taste of their own medicine. While the Scottish Premiership bows down to the might of Celtic, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga must similarly contend with Hoops’ UCL group stage opponents Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
Bayern defeated Celtic by an aggregate scoreline of 5-1 over their two ties this season. PSG put the finishing touches on an astounding 12-1 combined scoreline following Wednesday’s 7-1 mauling at the Parc des Princes.
These are the Chaaaaampions.

24 goals after five matches. That’s a new Champions League group stage record with still one match to spare (although that match is away to Bayern).
Neymar scored twice, Edinson Cavani got two, Kylian Mbappe added one, Marco Verratti had his moment and Dani Alves put the finishing touches on the victory with this sumptuous curler.
OH MY DANI ALVES!
PSG is simply on https://t.co/kHU3xgiOey— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) November 22, 2017
And here are Neymar’s goals because it’s always nice to see him again.
Well, that Celtic lead didn't last long...
Neymar equalizes with his 6th goal in 6 UCL matches vs Celtic! https://t.co/CqSxsf5xCs— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) November 22, 2017
Update: Neymar is still good.
PSG lead Celtic 2-1 now. https://t.co/c8c5q9FZdu— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) November 22, 2017
Barring a horrible result against Bayern on December 5, the top spot in Group B should belong to PSG courtesy of their comprehensive 3-0 victory over the Germans back on September 27.
This is just a friendly reminder that, should that play out, they could possibly draw Juventus or Real Madrid in the Round of 16.
