UEFA’s class shoutout to former Celtic hero Joe Hart’s iconic Europa League performance

Even though he has now left Celtic, Joe Hart is still receiving plaudits for what he has achieved at the club.

Over a three-year spell, Hart won three league titles, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups as he helped to assert the Parkhead club’s dominance over Rangers.

Hart also earned 75 caps for England and when he was at Manchester City, he also won every domestic honour available to him.

So to say he’s had quite the career is an understatement. Especially in European competitions.

Although he has never won any silverware from UEFA’s top competitions, Hart has represented Manchester City and Celtic in the Champions League and the Europa League.

But it was one particular performance for Celtic that UEFA decided to give a shout-out for and it’s not difficult to understand why.

Praise for Hart’s Celtic performance vs Bayer Leverkusen
Remarkably, Hart has made a combined 73 appearances for both Man City and Celtic in both competitions.

But it was what he did for the Parkhead club against Bayer Leverkusen in 2021 that UEFA has recognised on social media.
