There seemed no way back for Naby Keita the last time Liverpool lined up in the Champions League quarter-final.
The Guinean suffered the ignominy of being replaced three minutes before half-time at Real Madrid after the Reds had shipped two goals in their first leg in Spain, a deficit from which they were unable to recover.
That Klopp couldn’t wait until the interval to hook Keita appeared to speak volumes. Indeed, the midfielder didn’t play another minute that season, left to watch on as the Reds scrapped their way back into Europe’s premier cup competition.
