Real Madrid performance…
At a period of the season where the Liverpool defence was really struggling, and with a looming Premier League game with Chelsea forcing Rodgers to change his squad in a Champions League game we were likely to lose, Kolo was selected against the European Champions, with many expecting him to be dominated my messes Ronaldo, Bale and Isco.
But my word, WHAT A PERFORMANCE! Despite his age and speed he taught several of Madrid’s Galacticos a valuable lesson and whilst not perfect; he hurled himself around at the back like a flying salmon making blocks, clearances and the odd key pass.
