Neymar put this on a tee for Andrés Iniesta, and Iniesta did not miss. He hit an absolute rocket of a volley into the back of the net to give Barcelona a 4-0 lead over Celtic F.C. in UEFA Champions League group stage play at Camp Nou this afternoon. Barca had sustained pressure in front of the Celtic net for some time before the ball finally got to Neymar streaking down the near side. As he approached the goal line, he hooked a cross back almost directly onto the penalty spot and Iniesta let it rip.
After the goal, Celtic immediately turned the ball right back over to Barca with a sloppy play at midfield, and they were off to the races. Luis Suarez had the ball kicked directly to him and a quick outlet sprung him and Messi, who already had two goals at this point. Both charged for the net, with Messi feeding Suarez who then sent it back in for Messi who got his hat trick with a feet-first slide to touch it in for a 5-0 lead. About 15 minutes later, Suarez made it 6-0.[FS`]
