Four Liverpool players participated in Sunday’s UEFA Nations League match, with Ibrahima Konate leading France to victory.

As Les Bleus defeated Italy 3-1 in Milan, center-back Konate donned the national uniform and participated in the entire game.

As always, the Liverpool stalwart was aerially imperious but had little to do from a defesnvie perspective until the last 15 minutes or so when Italy piled on the pressure

Konate captained his side in this match and put in a decent performance in defence as he won four duels and made six clearances.

In other news, Curtis Jones made his second senior England start as the team thrashed the 10-man Republic of Ireland 5-0 at Wembley, with Caoimhin Kelleher in goal.

Harry Kane, Anthony Gordon, Conor Gallagher, Jarrod Bowen, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis all scored goals for the home team after Liam Scales was sent off for Ireland in the 51st minute.

Despite he isn’t as influential as against Greece. Still showed flashes of class, raising the tempo with quick bursts

After hardly being put to the test in the first half, Liverpool’s backup goalie had a wild second half in which he kept picking the ball out of the net.

Picking the ball out of his goal following Harry Kane’s penalty, for which he went the other way, was the first serious move. Then everything took a turn for the worst, even though he was unable to pass legislation to compensate for the laxity he was defending.
