Watch: Kasper Schmeichel Pulls off Wonderful Save to Deny Haaland

In his debut for Celtic, Kasper Schmeichel demonstrated why he is still regarded as a top-class goalkeeper, delivering a crucial performance that contributed to a thrilling 4-3 victory over Manchester City in their preseason friendly.

Despite having limited training sessions with the team since his recent signing, Schmeichel’s experience and skill were on full display, particularly in a standout moment against one of Football’s most formidable forwards.

Erling Haaland was poised to score when he found himself one-on-one with Schmeichel. However, the Danish goalkeeper executed a stunning save, denying Haaland from a position where the striker typically thrives.

This remarkable stop not only prevented a goal but also showed Schmeichel’s ability to make significant contributions under pressure, setting the tone for what Celtic fans can expect from their new signing this season.

It’s saves like that that can win crucial points in the Champions League, and despite his age, the Dane is showing he’s still got it. Let’s hope that continues.
