Celtic’s Nicolas Kuhn continues to shine after his electrifying Champions League performance against RB Leipzig, with praise pouring in from former Celtic stars and fans alike. This victory marks a significant turnaround for Celtic, who were heavily criticized following their previous loss to Borussia Dortmund. Brendan Rodgers’ side bounced back in style, earning a valuable draw against Atalanta and then outclassing Leipzig, currently the second-best team in Germany, in a thrilling match at Celtic Park.
Kuhn was the standout star, netting two crucial goals that secured Celtic’s 2-1 lead before halftime. On punditry duty for TNT Sports, Scott Brown was in awe, describing Kuhn as “on flames” and praising his exceptional finishing. Brown highlighted how Kuhn seemed to be enjoying every moment on the pitch and emphasized that, as a player, he’d look to get the ball to Kuhn whenever possible.
Neil Lennon also had high praise for Kuhn, calling his performance a display of “individual brilliance” and commending Celtic’s recruitment team for bringing him in. Lennon noted how Celtic capitalized on Leipzig’s mistakes, singling out Greg Taylor and Reo Hatate for their clever setup work that allowed Kuhn to finish. Lennon’s pointed critique of Leipzig’s defensive lapses underscored how Celtic punished the Bundesliga side for their lapses with Kuhn leading the charge.
Kuhn, who initially struggled to find his footing at Celtic, is now quickly becoming a fan favorite. His recent performances have even sparked discussions about a potential future with the Germany national team, which would be a testament to his development and form at Celtic. With Kuhn in top shape, Celtic’s Champions League ambitions are alive and well, and Rodgers’ squad looks poised for more European success.
