Lennon Miller: The young talent attracting attention from multiple clubs

The German player’s two-goal display not only turned the game in Celtic’s favour but also sparked a heated reaction in his homeland, particularly from leading outlet Bild.

Kuhn Shines Against Former Club
Nicolas Kuhn, who spent part of his youth career with RB Leipzig, was instrumental in Celtic’s comeback after the German side took an early lead. His first goal showcased his skill as he manoeuvred past defenders and curled a shot into the far corner. Just before halftime, Kuhn added a second, tapping in a low cross to give Celtic the advantage.

While Kuhn’s performance was celebrated by many, Bild referred to him as a “German no-name,” a label that has sparked significant backlash. The outlet appeared to express frustration over Kuhn’s impact against a German team, especially given his history with Leipzig’s youth setup.

Other German publications reacted differently: Tag24 highlighted the irony of Kuhn, a former Leipzig player, being the one to damage their Champions League hopes. Sport1 praised Kuhn’s impressive goals, noting his significant contribution to Celtic’s win.

International media also took note: Marca (Spain) commented on Kuhn’s journey since leaving Leipzig in 2018, suggesting that his performance was a form of “revenge” against his former club.
Celtic’s European Ambitions Strengthened

Celtic’s win moves them to seven points in the group stage, bolstering their chances of reaching at least the playoffs in the revamped Champions League format. Manager Brendan Rodgers hailed the team’s performance as a significant achievement. Celtic supporters and football analysts have been effusive in their praise for Kuhn and the team. And in this episode of the The Journos we highlight the team’s maturity and confidence on the European stage.

The victory not only boosts Celtic’s European campaign but also places a spotlight on Kuhn, who is rapidly becoming a key player for the Scottish champions. His performance has likely caught the attention of Germany’s national team manager, Julian Nagelsmann, who is reported to be an admirer.
