Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has poked fun at Trent Alexander-Arnold for claiming he is “proud” of his Liverpool teammate Ibrahima Konate.
Konate started ahead of Joel Matip for Liverpool in the Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday night. Vinicius Jr’s goal ensured Liverpool’s season ended in disappointment in a 1-0 defeat in Paris, but Konate came out of the match with credit for his personal performance.
The 23-year-old centre-back has grown into the season as it's gone on and become a reliable performer for Jurgen Klopp’s side. His impact following a £36million move from RB Leipzig last summer is shown by the fact that the Champions League final was his first loss for Liverpool in his 29th appearance for the club.
