The Turkish centre back had a lot to say about his first win since joining Liverpool. The Reds beat RB Leipzig 0-2 in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 matchup.
“It was so special for me because this was my first clean sheet and my first win in this jersey. I’m a new player, I’m a young player and there’s a lot of stars here. I need a little time to adapt here and with time I will be better I think.

Having played in the Bundesliga, the young defender knew what to expect when going up against Leipzig.
“Leipzig are a really good team and second in the Bundesliga table but I think we controlled the game very well. First half we had a lot of good opportunities and second half we scored because of their mistakes – but we already had it under control.
