BARCELONA, Spain -- Lionel Messi scored a hat trick and Neymar excelled as a playmaker to lead Barcelona to a record-setting 7-0 win over Celtic in their Champions League opener on Tuesday. Authentic Custom Timberwolves Jersey .Celtic failed to convert a first-half penalty and level the score at 1-1 in a miserable night for the Scottish visitors.Neymar set up Messi to score twice in the first half hour at Camp Nou before the Brazil striker struck from a free kick just after halftime.Neymar kept pouring it on, crossing for substitute Andres Iniesta to fire in a vicious volley.Messi took his career tally to 86 goals in Europes top-tier competition before Luis Suarez rounded off the rout with a pair of goals.It didnt matter who we had in front us, I remember a beauty and precision that was of another class. Against that, rivals can do very little, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. It was a great way to make our entrance to the competition (this season).The 7-0 victory surpassed Barcelonas biggest win in the Champions League to date, a 7-1 defeat of Bayer Leverkusen in 2012.Luis Enrique credited Messis deft movement across the front of the attack, and his dips into Barcelonas midfield where he acts as a facilitator, as key to unlocking Celtic.Leo Messi plays at every position, he has freedom to do so because he is the best in the world at any position he plays, Luis Enrique said.

Messi did the rest by sizing up Dorus de Vries before blasting a left-footed shot past the Celtic `keeper.It got even better from there.The second goal was a brilliant piece of shared playmaking that undid Celtic completely, as the ball flowed from Messi to Neymar and back again for him to nudge over the line in the 27th.The ball moves like its on an ice rink, and they move as fast as that, Rodgers said. (Barcelona) is the worlds best at keeping the ball.Three minutes earlier, Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen made up for his foul in the area on Moussa Dembele by blocking Dembeles penalty kick and denying Celtic its only scoring chance.Goal No. 3 came in the 50th when Neymar curled a free kick over the wall. De Vries got a hand on the ball but not enough to keep it out.Iniesta blasted his volley home in the 59th, seconds before Messi slid to tap in Luis Suarezs pass.Suarez added his own flourish to the demolition when he took Neymars lob on the chest, before swiveling and beating De Vries with a left-footed strike in the 75th.Suarez got his second from a low cross from Messi.Five-time champion Barcelona extended its winning streak at home in European competition to 12 straight matches. Cheap Custom Timberwolves Jersey . -- Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed to edge host Sherbrooke Phoenix 3-2 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Custom Timberwolves Jerseys . - Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie never doubted he would bring back coach Dennis Allen for a third year despite back-to-back 4-12 records. http://www.customtimberwolvesjersey.com/ . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.
