Match Report
Daizen Maeda was sent off as Celtic crashed to a 6-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid to all but end their Champions League hopes.
Celtic knew a result against the LaLiga side was vital to leave them with a chance of progressing in the competition before Christmas, but Antione Griezmann's early opener left them with a mountain to climb.
Their night continued to go downhill when Daizen Maeda was sent off following a VAR check for a challenge on Mario Hermoso before Alvaro Morata doubled the lead before the break.
Greizmann and Morata both scored again in the second half, either side of Samuel Lino's stunning strike just minutes after he came off the bench. Saul Niguez added a sixth late on.
Atletico remain unbeaten and sit top of Group E while the Hoops are bottom with just one point from four games.
