Klopp hails Celtic's Baur, compares him to unnamed Champions League star after Germany debut | OneFootball

Jürgen Klopp hailed Mika Baur after the Celtic midfielder’s Germany debut in a 2-0 win over Serbia. According to BuLi News, he also likened him to an unnamed player at a multiple-time Champions League winner.

Baur, the 1,000th player to represent Die Nationalmannschaft, won his first cap on Thursday.

Klopp said Baur had imposed himself in the Scottish Premiership, a competition he has previously described as the nastiest in the world, and highlighted the midfielder’s resilience and technique.

He added that Germany had now seen what a fine footballer Baur is.

In under two years he has risen from a loan at Dynamo Dresden in the 3. Liga to a breakthrough with SC Paderborn in the 2. Bundesliga. That run led to a €6 million move to Celtic and a first call-up.

Klopp’s description could point to Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha, with both short, dark and curly-haired, robust in duels and very assured in possession.

Baur could make a second appearance when Germany travel to Thessaloniki to face Greece on Sunday.
