During Celtic’s 6-0 defeat by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, former England goalkeeper Joe Hart left fans scratching their heads with an unusual goalkeeping maneuver. The 36-year-old, who started in goal for Celtic, faced a late shot from Saul Niguez, which led to confusion and disbelief among spectators.

As Saul prepared to take his close-range shot, Hart was observed retreating towards the mouth of the goal. By the time he attempted to save the shot, the ball had already crossed the goal line, resulting in an unexpected goal. Fans took to social media to express their astonishment, with one person describing Hart’s attempt as a “bold strategy.”

Atletico Madrid dominated the match, with goals from Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata, Samuel Lino, and Saul, securing a convincing 6-0 victory. Celtic is currently at the bottom of Group E with just one point from four games. Hart, who joined Celtic in 2021 after a year at Tottenham, enjoyed the prime of his career at Manchester City, where he won numerous titles before moving on to Torino, West Ham, and eventually Burnley.
