Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate reacts to Achraf Hakimi’s historic PSG message
Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has reacted to a message shared by PSG star Achraf Hakimi after Luis Enrique’s men beat Inter in the Champions League final.
The Paris giants blew their Italian counterparts away in Munich on Saturday, 31 May, as they emerged as 5-0 winners to lift their first Champions League trophy.
Hakimi opened the scoring from close range on 12 minutes before Desire Doue’s deflected strike handed Enrique’s side a 2-0 half-time lead.
PSG then showed their superiority thanks to second-half goals from Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and substitute Senny Mayulu.

Bayern Munich plot move for Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo
While Konate has admired Hakimi and PSG’s Champions League success, Liverpool are now in for a busy summer of recruitment as Arne Slot looks to strengthen his Premier League-winning squad.

The Reds have already signed Jeremie Frimpong, who could prove to be an adequate replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold after starring for Bayer Leverkusen.
But as Slot looks to add reinforcements to his squad, Liverpool will also witness further outgoings this summer.
Former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers chief scout Mick Brown has exclusively told Football Insider that Bayern Munich want to sign Cody Gakpo.
The Netherlands forward played a key role in Liverpool’s Premier League success by scoring 10 goals and creating four assists in 35 top-flight appearances this term.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are closing in on Florian Wirtz, who, like Frimpong, has been vital for Leverkusen during their successful years under the management of former Real Madrid and Reds midfielder Xabi Alonso.
