Borussia Dortmund's lineup's overwhelming speed and talent left Celtic struggling in their UEFA Champions League match at Signal Iduna Park, where the home club won 7-1. With a strong hat-trick, Karim Adeyemi stole the show and established the tone for a one-sided game. Building on their past performances, this outcome puts Dortmund in a strong position to go further into the competition. Dortmund was granted a penalty in the seventh minute, which Emre Can calmly converted to start the contest. But Daizen Maeda of Celtic answered immediately, putting home a cross from Arne Engels. This fleeting comeback was short-lived, as Celtic's defense was completely overpowered by Dortmund's persistent onslaught led by Adeyemi.
By the conclusion of the first half, Adeyemi had scored three goals thanks to his combination of speed and accuracy. Serhou Guirassy and Felix Nmecha added the remaining goals to the total. At the end of the first half, Dortmund led 5-1, demonstrating their overwhelming superiority.
