“Leipzig is a good team…” – Chris Sutton gives IMMEDIATE reaction to Celtic’s Victory against RB Leipzig in the Champions League; reveals the players that made the VICTORY possible.

Celtic secured a stunning 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in a Champions League match at Celtic Park, a result few fans expected. Brendan Rodgers’ side outplayed the Bundesliga contenders, with Nicolas Kuhn’s impressive brace and a goal from Reo Hatate sealing a memorable win. This triumph not only boosts Celtic’s European campaign but also energizes their fans, who are now hopeful of progressing further in the competition.

RB Leipzig initially took the lead after a defensive lapse on Celtic’s part. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel conceded a corner, which eventually led to Leipzig’s opening goal after a poorly defended second attempt. Despite this setback, Celtic responded with resilience and grew stronger as the match progressed.

Kuhn’s first goal was a stunning equalizer that showcased his skill and determination. Shortly afterward, Hatate displayed exceptional footwork, creating a chance that allowed Kuhn to score his second, putting Celtic ahead. After halftime, Celtic continued to press and managed to secure a third goal, firmly establishing control of the game. In fact, they could have scored even more on the night, with several promising opportunities created by their vibrant attacking play.

The win was particularly significant for Rodgers, whose tactical approach had been criticized after Celtic’s heavy 7-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund earlier in the competition. This latest performance, however, marks a turning point, showing a more cohesive and confident Celtic side both domestically and in Europe.

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton praised the team’s efforts, expressing his pride in their achievement on social media. Sutton’s reaction was echoed by fans who have seen a remarkable improvement in Celtic’s European form. The team now has seven points from their first four group-stage games, putting them in a strong position to advance to the next phase of the tournament.

In his words, he said, “One of the best displays I’ve seen from a Celtic team in the Champions League. A performance of real authority and class against a good Leipzig team. Trusty phenomenal again. Hatate, Kuhn, McGregor outstanding.”

Rodgers’ approach has silenced many of his critics, and Celtic’s European journey this season has become a source of optimism for fans who are witnessing their team’s resurgence. With momentum building, Celtic’s prospects in Europe look promising, and Parkhead will surely be buzzing as they continue their quest in the Champions League.
