Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate was thrilled to play at Anfield for the first time last night.

Konate played 80 minutes for the preseason friendly win against Osasuna.

"To be honest, I don't have the words to explain my feelings when I put my first foot on the pitch. It's amazing and I'm very happy to have my first game at Anfield with fans," the centre-back told Liverpoolfc.com.

“Today was amazing. I cannot imagine the stadium in the Premier League or Champions League."

Konate continued: “I think we did a very good game together and this is the most important [thing]. I am happy about my performance.

“It was the last friendly game, the last game of the pre-season – now the Premier League will start [on] Saturday and I am very excited for this moment."
