LIONEL MESSI, Luis Suarez and Neymar needed just two minutes to remind the world why they are the world's most exciting attacking trio against Celtic.

Messi gave Barcelona the lead early doors as they worked the ball wonderfully through to the Argentinian superstar, who smashed a laser-like finish across Hoops keeper Dorus de Vries' goal and into the top corner.

But Brendan Rodgers will be kicking himself after his side missed a golden opportunity to get back into the game.

Moussa Dembele had the ball on the spot after he was fouled by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Former Swansea and Liverpool manager Rodgers could be seen jotting down notes in his notebook after the missed penalty - as Barca soon went 2-0 up thanks to Messi again.

This time it really was a move of pure class as blonde bombers Neymar and Messi combined to put the ball in the net again.
