Celtic were demolished by Paris Saint-Germain….again.
Scott McDonald has said on BBC Sportsround that he was particularly disappointed by Scott Brown’s performance in Celtic’s 7-1 Champions League demolition by Paris Saint-Germain.
Celtic took a shock lead inside the first minute through Moussa Dembele, but Unai Emery’s side, who won 5-0 in Glasgow earlier in the competition, were level eight minutes later through Neymar.
The Hoops skipper was the one who conceded possession in the build-up to the goal, sloppily misplacing a pass under no pressure.
Brown was guilty of further sloppy errors throughout and McDonald has singled out his former Celtic team-mate for a bit of criticism.
“Neymar is dominating the game and certainly living up to his price tag. He’s dropping deeper, playing these lovely 30-40-yard balls over the top for strikers,” he told BBC Sportsround.
“I’m disappointed for Celtic – Scott Brown especially, it’s not like him, but he’s given the ball away on numerous occasions, very sloppy, and he’s been punished.
Brendan Rodgers’s side trailed 4-1 at the break as another from Neymar and further efforts from Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe effectively ended the game as a contest within 45 minutes.
They looked on course for a respectable defeat, under the circumstances, as Celtic kept it at 4-1 until the final 15 minutes, but a late rally consisting of goals from Marco Verratti, another from Cavani and Dani Alves completed the mauling.
