Celtic's Moussa Dembele: 'We let Barcelona play'

Celtic forward Moussa Dembele has claimed that his team let Barcelona "play a little bit too much" in their 7-0 defeat to the Spanish champions.

The Scottish outfit suffered their worst ever European defeat as they were hit for seven by Barcelona in Tuesday night's Champions League Group C match at Camp Nou.

Dembele, who missed a penalty in the first period, has branded Barcelona "one of the best teams in the world", but hinted that his side could have done more to stop the home side from dominating the 90 minutes.

"It was disappointing. We lost against one of the best teams in the world, but we let them play a little bit too much," Dembele told BT Sport.

"I can learn a lot from these type of games. In football sometimes you score and sometimes you miss."

Dembele saw his first-half spot kick saved by Marc-Andre ter Stegen after the French forward had been brought to the ground by the German goalkeeper inside the box.
