Naby Keita is ‘not good enough’ for Liverpool, insists Dietmar Hamann

Naby Keita is ‘not good enough’ for Liverpool, insists Dietmar Hamann

Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has slammed the performance of Naby Keita against Atletico Madrid, believing the scorer of the club’s second goal was at fault for both of Antoine Griezmann’s finishes.

The Reds produced anything but a box-office bomb in Madrid on Tuesday night, winning a Champions League classic at the Wanda Metropolitano, in which Jurgen Klopp’s men beat the Spanish champions 3-2 after initially being pegged back from a two-goal advantage.

The Merseysiders cruised to a 2-0 lead, with Keita netting an absolute pearler on 13th minute, before Diego Simeone’s men battled back to restore parity. The turning point in the contest came just after the restart when Griezmann was sent for an early bath after his high boot caught Roberto Firmino in the face.
