Hugo Ekitike came back to punish his former club, Eintracht Frankfurt, as Liverpool cruised to a 5-1 victory in their recent UEFA Champions League encounter.
The French forward netted the equaliser for the Reds, finishing off a rapid counter-attack in the first half. Out of respect for his former side, Ekitike chose not to celebrate the goal, though he later shared a light-hearted moment related to it.
A photo showed Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk raising his arms in celebration immediately after Ekitike’s strike—a gesture that clearly amused the forward. Sharing the image on his Snapchat story, Ekitike captioned it, “Big Virgil knows.”
The 22-year-old has now registered six goals in 12 appearances this season, continuing to outshine Alexander Isak in Arne Slot’s squad.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥
