Péter Gulácsi is set to face his former side Liverpool tonight, as RB Leipzig host ‘The Reds’ in the Champions League Round of 16.
Although the Hungarian keeper spent six years in Merseyside and made the matchday squad on 52 occasions, he did not make a senior appearance for the club.
His time in England also included 3 loan spells at Hereford, Hull and 2 consecutive seasons at Tranmere from 2009 to 2011.
Despite not featuring for Liverpool, Gulácsi looks back on his time at the club fondly.
When speaking to The Athletic he said “I have the best memories. Just being at a fantastic club with unbelievably good players was a great experience”.
He also recalled the level of quality that was on display in training sessions, singling out Steven Gerrard & Luis Suárez as some of the best performers.
The 30 year old left Liverpool for Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg in 2013 before signing for Leipzig 2 years later in 2015.
Since then, Gulácsi has become a regular in the number one position and is now a central figure in Julian Nagelsmann’s plans.
This season saw him make his 200th appearance for the club as the German side seek to push Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title.
Nagelsmann’s side beat FC Augsburg this weekend to go within 4 points of the league leaders.
Their focus will now be fully on the Champions League as they seek a first leg victory against Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
The fixture will be played at a neutral venue at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary.
