'Immense' was the word Rio Ferdinand used to describe the performance of Liverpool's centre backs in their 2-0 win at Inter Milan on Wednesday night.
Four years and three major trophies into his Liverpool career, Virgil van Dijk is well used to those sort of superlatives by now, but for 22-year-old Ibrahima Konate the performance and the praise that has followed feels like a coming of age moment.
Konate has been eased in gently by Jurgen Klopp this season, appearing in just 15 of their 38 matches in all competitions, but his record speaks for itself with Liverpool unbeaten in those games, 14 of which he's started, winning 11 and drawing four.
