Real Madrid have got their Champions League title defence off to the perfect start, beating Celtic 3-0 at Parkhead. Before the match Ange Postecoglou, the Celtic manager, made it clear that he had no intention of abandoning his attacking principles in an effort to contain Real, calling on his players to test themselves against the title holders.

The Hoops rose to the challenge, flying out of the blocks and putting their opponents under pressure straight from kick off.

Ad With barely a minute on the clock Giorgos Giakoumakis teed up Liel Abada, whose low drive was deflected just wide by Eder Militao.

Celtic unsettled their opponents with aggressive pressing from the front, with Giakoumakis, Abada and Jota forcing a string of mistakes while Reo Hatate set the tempo further back.
