Snodgrass’ former Hull City and Scotland teammate Robertson starred in Liverpool’s semi-final win over AS Roma.
On-loan Aston Villa midfielder Robert Snodgrass has applauded Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson on Instagram after the defender helped Liverpool earn a place in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
Jurgen Klopp’s side booked their place at Kiev on May 26 despite losing 4-2 to Roma in Italy, going through 7-6 on aggregate thanks to their 5-2 victory at Anfield last month.
Robertson, 24, starred on the left side of defence for Liverpool, working tirelessly to nullify the likes of Stephane El-Sharaawy, Patrik Schick and Edin Dzeko.
Snodgrass, who teams up with Robertson on Scotland duty and was his teammate at Hull City, posted on his Instagram story that he was “proud” of his “buddy” Robertson.
Sadio Mane and Gini Wijnaldum found the back of the net in the first half for Liverpool, only for a James Milner own goal and Edin Dzeko to cancel out their lead on the night. A late double from Radja Nainggolan was too little, too late.
Snodgrass remains on loan at Championship promotion-chasers Aston Villa from Premier League side West Ham United, but could make his move permanent if indeed Steve Bruce’s side gain promotion.
