Matip’s final campaign with Liverpool was one tinged with heartbreak. The injury robbed him of the chance to make one final push with the club he had grown to love, limiting him to just 14 appearances in what would become his final season at Anfield.

When quizzed on how he’s been spending his time post-Liverpool retirement, Joel Matip said: “There’s nothing special to update – I’m just enjoying time with the family, that’s all.” “It’s wonderful to be back here,” he said. I’m really looking forward to it.” He also revealed that Virgil van Dijk invited him to the game: “He’s a wonderful guy, a wonderful player and it’s a pleasure to be here and see him playing again.” Seeing him relaxed, healthy and happy in the stands will have meant a lot to the supporters who watched his Liverpool story unfold over eight years.
