Celtic secured Premier League legend Kasper Schmeichel between the sticks this season. Former Leicester manager Roy Rodgers took two minutes to persuade the Dane to move to Scottish football and Celtic. Here there have been games with world-class saves by the Danish veteran with an incredible 18 clean sheets in 25 league games. On Wednesday, there was no game without backwards for the 38-year-old, when Harry Kane was visiting.
Celtic pressed Bayern Munich, but two goals by the Bundesliga giants before fifty minutes had passed became too tough to catch up. It ended in a 1-2 loss for Celtic, the match-winning goal Schmeichel had to get out of the net had sender Harry Kane.
Harry Kane clearly brings out the best when he faces Kasper Schmeichel. During his long career, the 31-year-old Kane has never scored more goals on the same goalkeeper than against Kasper Schmeicheil.
Wednesday’s goal on the Dane was Kane’s 19th against Schmeichel. Five goals more than Kane has scored on any other goalkeeper, reports Danish Bold.
We’re guessing this is a record Schmeichel doesn’t talk about loudly.
