Naby Keita ‘proud’ of Liverpool teammates after comeback against Barcelona

Guinea international Naby Keita is delighted with Liverpool’s performance after stunning Barcelona 4-0 in the second leg of their Uefa Champions League semi-final at Anfield on Tuesday.

The Reds overturned their 3-0 first leg deficit to qualify for the final 4-3 aggregate.

A pair of goals from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum achieved the magic for the Premier League side.

Keita was not involved in the match after he suffered a thigh injury during the first leg at Camp Nou.

The injury ended his season and places his chances of playing for Guinea in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations at risk.

The midfielder has taken to social media to applaud his teammates for their incredible comeback against Barcelona.

“So proud of my boys,” Keita posted on Instagram.
