Celtic Sensation Nicolas Kuhn Draws Thierry Henry Comparisons After Champions League Masterclass

Celtic’s thrilling 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League has sparked widespread praise, with Nicolas Kuhn’s outstanding performance garnering particular attention. The German forward’s brace, including a sublime curling effort, has drawn comparisons to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, covering the match for CBS, were effusive in their praise. During their ‘Heineken Unmissable Moment’ segment, Richards quipped, “We have got a Va Va Voom in the studio (Thierry Henry). But tonight it was Va Va Kuhn.”

Kuhn’s impressive display has catapulted him into the spotlight, with his Celtic teammates and manager Brendan Rodgers sharing in the plaudits. The Glasgow giants’ dominant performance, a far cry from their recent 7-0 drubbing by Borussia Dortmund, has renewed optimism among fans.

The 23-year-old’s journey to prominence is all the more remarkable, given his unassuming beginnings. Born in Hanover, Kuhn was once on Leipzig’s books but failed to make a senior appearance. His representations for Germany’s youth teams, from U-15 to U-20, hinted at potential, now realized at Celtic.

However, Kuhn’s success has not gone unnoticed by all. German publication Bild dismissively labeled him a “German no-name” following his match-winning display against Leipzig.

American coverage, in contrast, has been effusive. CBS Sports’ Kate Scott introduced the ‘Heineken Unmissable Moment’ segment, saying, “Time for our Heineken unmissable moment, come in.” Carragher responded, “Well, we are going to Celtic Park. It’s the main man, off the pitch Rod Stewart who was absolutely over the moon because there was a goal from Nicolas Kuuuuuhnnn.”

Richards added, “Two Champions League goals. Brilliant night for him.”

As Celtic’s European resurgence gains momentum, Kuhn’s emergence as a key player has fans and pundits alike taking notice.
