Celtic Star Nicolas Kuhn Praised by Joe Hart for Composure Against RB Leipzig
Celtic’s impressive 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League has garnered widespread acclaim, with goalkeeper Joe Hart singling out Nicolas Kuhn for special praise.
Hart lauded Kuhn’s calm and controlled demeanor, even when Celtic were under pressure after Leipzig’s opening goal. The German forward responded with two stunning goals, including a brilliant curling effort, to seal the win.
“So calm, so controlled he looks in possession, when this Celtic team has been rattled, Nicolas Kuhn doesn’t,” Hart told TNT Sport. “He looks like he is playing his own game… Nicolas Kuhn is gliding around Celtic Park tonight. It’s such good football from Celtic.”
Kuhn’s stats against Leipzig were equally impressive, earning a WhoScored rating of 8.79. His performance included:
- 3 shots
- 2 key passes
- 78.1% pass accuracy
- 3 dribbles
- 1 tackle
- 1 through ball
- 51 touches
The 23-year-old’s display has drawn comparisons to Matt O’Riley, who departed Celtic for Brighton in the summer. However, Kuhn’s emergence has seamlessly filled the void, taking his game to new heights.
Celtic’s win over Leipzig has revitalized their Champions League ambitions, and Kuhn’s contribution has been pivotal. As the Scottish champions continue their European campaign, the German forward’s composure and skill will be crucial in driving their success.
