Brendan Rodgers put on another Champions League showcase last night as Celtic defeated RB Leipzig at Parkhead.
Following their loss to Borussia Dortmund, Rodgers was under some pressure, but his commanding win over Leipzig silenced the critics.
This defeat stirred reactions in the German media, as Celtic dominated Marco Rose’s squad, leaving the Bundesliga team without points and facing increased scrutiny.
RB Leipzig’s sporting director, Marcel Schafer, expressed disappointment over the loss, while Dean Saunders praised Celtic’s victory, particularly one standout player.
Dean Saunders was impressed by Nicolas Kuhn’s “amazing” display during Celtic’s win over RB Leipzig.
Saunders identified three standout players from all the Champions League matches and singled out Kuhn’s performance as one of the night’s best.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Saunders said, “My top three, starting with Kuhn at Celtic. He was fantastic last night. You need players like that who bring energy; it’s infectious.”
Saunders also highlighted Ruben Amorim, incoming manager of Manchester United, and Liverpool’s Ruben Diaz as his other standout players for their roles in Sporting Lisbon and Liverpool’s successes.
Nicolas Kuhn’s Champions League stats are impressive, especially compared to RB Leipzig’s high-priced talents.
Here, 67 Hail Hail takes a look:

Last night, this site highlighted how Nicolas Kuhn’s performance far exceeded expectations for his £3 million transfer fee. In contrast, RB Leipzig’s lineup included Benjamin Šeško, signed for £20 million, Antonio Nusa for £28 million, and Lois Openda for £35 million.
