PSG’s £200million man Neymar opened the scoring and fellow new boy Kylian Mbappe added to the tally before Edinson Cavani’s double – one from the penalty spot – and a Mikael Lustig own goal compounded the hosts’ misery.
The French champions looked in a league of their own as Brendan Rodgers’ battlers suffered their worst European loss at Parkhead. It was the first time Celtic have lost five at home since 1895.

Rodgers paid tribute to PSG’s quality. He said: “That’s the top level of world football you’ve seen there this evening. Right across the pitch. They have a phenomenal squad.”
Celtic captain Scott Brown admitted: “We’re disappointed with the result, but PSG are a great team. We’ll pick ourselves up and bounce back.”
