Borussia Dortmund delivered a stunning performance as they thrashed Celtic 7-1 in an unforgettable night of Champions League football, with Karim Adeyemi stealing the show. The young German forward was in electrifying form, netting three goals before being substituted due to an injury in the 47th minute. His heroics helped propel Dortmund to an emphatic victory as they continued their dominant run in the competition.
The match began with a bang, as Dortmund opened the scoring early in the 7th minute through a penalty expertly converted by Emre Can. Celtic, undeterred, quickly responded with an equalizer just two minutes later, leveling the score at 1-1. However, that was as close as Celtic would get, as Dortmund unleashed a relentless goal spree that Celtic simply couldn’t contain.
Adeyemi’s influence on the game was undeniable, as he netted his first goal in the 11th minute, putting Dortmund back in the lead. His second came in the 29th minute, and Dortmund’s attack kept pressing forward. Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy added to Celtic’s woes, scoring Dortmund’s fourth goal in the 40th minute. Just before halftime, Adeyemi completed his hat-trick with another clinical finish in the 42nd minute, giving Dortmund an insurmountable 5-1 lead.
Unfortunately, Adeyemi’s night came to an early end when he was forced off the field due to injury early in the second half, but by then, the damage had been done. Despite his absence, Dortmund continued their dominance, with Guirassy scoring his second of the night in the 66th minute. Felix Nmecha sealed the comprehensive victory with a well-taken goal in the 79th minute.
Dortmund’s attacking prowess was on full display, leaving Celtic overwhelmed and outplayed. With this victory, Dortmund continues to solidify their status as a major contender in Europe, while Adeyemi’s performance—injury aside—cements his reputation as one of the brightest young talents in world football.
The night belonged to Dortmund, as they marched on with confidence, sending a clear message to their Champions League rivals.
