Ahead of the Liverpool match, former club RB Leipzig only pays tribute to Dominik Szoboszlai. How does Ibrahima Konate respond to being overlooked?

During Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig, Konate returned to his former stadium along with Szoboszlai. However, while the Hungarian midfielder was warmly honored by his old club, Konate received no acknowledgment, with no official tribute in his name.

Szoboszlai spent three seasons with RB Leipzig before joining Liverpool. His contributions were celebrated with admiration, highlighted by a special gesture from the club as they presented him with a Red Bull statuette—a symbolic token honoring his time there.

Meanwhile, Konate spent four seasons playing a pivotal role in RB Leipzig’s defense from 2017 to 2021.

During his tenure with the German club, he helped them consistently secure top-3 finishes in the Bundesliga and was part of the squad that reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals—one of the club’s most notable achievements.

Given Konate’s longer tenure at Leipzig and his integral role in their defense, the absence of any tribute to him was particularly surprising.

On social media, the French defender responded subtly to RB Leipzig’s Instagram post honoring Szoboszlai, leaving a cryptic “…” — a simple yet pointed remark on the lack of acknowledgment from his former team.
