Liverpool's huge games don't stop there, as they face Manchester United in the Premier League next, with the title on the line. Cristiano Ronaldo may be the last guy standing in the way of the Reds winning the quadruple, but Jurgen Klopp has the perfect solution for him.Klopp has the perfect trick up his sleeve to slow down a furious Ronaldo ahead of a tense match against United on Tuesday night. The Reds are well aware that any points dropped between now and the conclusion of the season will be harmful to their Premier League title hopes.
Manchester City are only one point ahead of their opponents in the table, but both teams have been in amazing form, and no one appears to be standing in their way. That is, until Tuesday night, when Ronaldo will have the opportunity to end Liverpool's unbeaten run.
United are having a bad season, but they can still have a say in the title chase.Liverpool has a new hero at the back in Ibrahima Konate, who can do it all. Virgil van Dijk applauds the Frenchman's defensive efforts as he dominates in the air and is lightning fast on the ground.
That's not even taking into account his improved goal-scoring ability, as he has three goals in four games - versus City and in both Champions League fixtures against Benfica. Not only is the 22-year-old still a raw product, but he already appears to be another transfer window masterstroke.Konate, who joined Liverpool for £40 million from RB Leipzig, where everyone was screaming about his centre-back partner Dayot Upamecano, can argue that he has had a better season than his old colleague, who has, to his credit, blended in effortlessly. Nonetheless, Klopp appears to have identified the long-term replacement to Van Dijk in his ranks already, and the Dutchman is well aware of it.
"Extremely [impressive]." Van Dijk stated of his new defensive partner, "He has made a big effect, he works hard every day; good mentality, incredible work rate." "Of course, he needs to deliver when called upon, and he is doing so." He's still so little, but he's already so good.Everyone in Liverpool should be grateful for what we have; the future seems promising."
After a magnificent hat-trick against Norwich, Ronaldo has recovered his goalscoring touch, helping United to a Premier League triumph over the Premier League's worst club. Konate, on the other hand, will be a whole different task, one that could prove crucial in what could be a true classic.
