Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Barcelona v Celtic from the Camp Nou for this Group C opener. Both teams field strong starting line-ups for this match with the tournament favourites at full strength and fielding Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar in attack after the surprise 2-1 loss to Alaves at home in La Liga. Celtic include a potent forward three of Patrick Roberts, Scott SInclair and Moussa Dembele, but the visiting side's five-man defence is likely to be the centre of attention against the Spanish champions, who are bidding for sixth Champions League trophy against the first British club to lift the trophy in 1967.
