Dayot Upamecano had a big chance to send a message to Liverpool on Tuesday night.
But the Frenchman failed.
Liverpool came up against the Leipzig centre-back in last night’s Champions League clash in Germany.
It came days after Bayern Munich announced that they had signed the powerhouse in a £38 million deal, which will become official this summer.
One of several clubs to be heavily linked with the 22-year-old was Jurgen Klopp’s side, but he struggled in a big way against the Reds last night.
Liverpool beat the Bundesliga outfit 2-0 in the second-round Champions League tie and it was a sloppy, error-laden performance from Upamecano.
Here’s how some fans of the Anfield club reacted to his display on Twitter:
Liverpool still need a few central defenders this summer but this is a little premature from some of their supporters.
One poor game doesn’t mean that Upamecano won’t prove a roaring success at Bayern over the coming years and for £38 million, it might still prove to be an absolute bargain.
