Joe Hart’s amusing text to Brendan Rodgers following Celtic’s incredible penalty shootout victory against Aberdeen
That was possibly the last Celtic Hampden trip of this kind for a very long time.
At the national stadium, Bhoys fans went through a lot during a 3-3 draw with Aberdeen that led to an absurd penalty shootout.
During an intense and memorable 120 minutes, Celtic had both leads and deficits during the game.
Goalie Joe Hart, who missed his own penalty that would have sent the Bhoys into the final, was largely responsible for the defending champions’ victory in the semi-final.
The seasoned goalie ultimately stopped the crucial penalty, setting up joyous scenes at Hampden and leading to a 6-5 shoot-out victory. Additionally, he demonstrated to everyone that he is still at the top of his game throughout the game by making a few important stops. This was in addition to his upcoming retirement.
Joe Hart desires to attempt a Celtic penalty one more.
Funny enough, he informed Brendan Rodgers after the game that if Celtic lose to Hearts or Rangers in another shootout in the final next month, he wants to continue playing penalties. Hearts and Rangers play tomorrow.
Additionally, Rodgers told BBC One Scotland that Hart was always going to be the one to take the fifth one since the takers were focused at yesterday’s training.
When asked about Hart’s input, the Celtics manager responded, “He says he still wants another penalty.” We’ve been working on it for the past several days, so we know who will take the penalties going into the cup games.
“He’s the ultimate hero, and that save was fantastic.”
Hart responded to the events, saying to Premier Sports, “I put myself forward,” in the meanwhile. When it comes to penalties, I have the biggest tongue, and they allowed me to use it. That takes a great deal of trust as well as effort. I accepted that punishment with assurance. What a game, I must have missed it.
“We never ought to have been in the penalty area. That was a game we ought to have ended. I was hopeful that James’ goal would win us the game because it was arguably one of my favorite goals of the season. The most crucial thing, though, was that we finished it.
