Liverpool picked up a vital first-leg win over RB Leipzig in the Champions League round of 16 last night.

Jurgen Klopp will be delighted with the performance of his players especially after the kind of form they have been in over recent weeks.

The Reds came into this game on the back of three consecutive defeats in all competitions and they needed a morale-boosting performance.

Although the reigning Premier League champions were not at their very best, they managed to pressurise the German side into key mistakes and converted the chances they created.

Liverpool were dominant in possession and did the basics well at the back.

20-year-old January signing Ozann Kabak produced an impressive display for the Reds at the heart of the defence and he was voted as the man of the match by the fans after the game.

Although he looked shaky on a couple of occasions during the match, the seven-cap Turkish international managed to keep it simple and defended admirably for most of the game.

The youngster clearly has a lot of talent and Klopp will be aiming to help him improve further in the coming months.

If Kabak can build on this performance over the next few weeks, he might just prove to be a solid acquisition in the long run for the reported fee of £18 million.

Some Liverpool fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the defender’s performance and here is what they had to say.
