Ferdinand: Upamecano was in Bayern Munich's dressing room while facing Mohamed Salah
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand criticized the performance of Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano, in the match against Liverpool, which ended with the Reds winning yesterday with a clean double.
Liverpool repeated its victory over Leipzig in the second leg of the 16th round of the Champions League, with two goals, as happened in the first leg, to topple the German team.
Upamecano, 22, will leave Leipzig at the end of the season to join Bayern Munich, after the European champions defeated a group of European rivals and succeeded in signing the French defender for 38.5 million pounds.
Rio Ferdinand highlighted Obamecano's decline, after he allowed Mohamed Salah to score the opening goal in the second leg.
Ferdinand said on BTS Sports: "Upamecano has come back. Bayern Munich bought him, but he was retreating against Liverpool."
He added, "In front of Mohamed Salah, Upamecano appeared with a terrible performance, the entire Leipzig defense was terrible."
And he continued: "Upamecano, in particular, is a defender who has a great reputation in Europe and everyone talks about him, but he looked like he was really in the Bayern Munich dressing room and not in Leipzig."
The French player this season has kept his team clean sheets in 10 games during 21 matches in the German League.
