# Former Reds man Enrique hails Robertson

Ex-Liverpool defender Jose Enrique had nothing but praise for Reds left-back Andy Robertson after the club’s victory in the Champions League final.

The Spaniard voiced his opinion about the defender and called him ‘the best left-back in the world.’

After the Champions League final, at the celebratory party, Enrique told Robertson what he thought of him. He explained to [Liverpool’s official website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/353294-jose-enrique-praises-andy-robertson):

> He’s given a lot of assists, contributed to the team offensively and defensively as well.

Robertson has been with Liverpool since July 2017 and enjoyed his most successful campaign yet in 2018/19. He helped his team secure second place in the Premier League and achieved Champions League glory.

The Scotland international’s displays on the left-hand side of the defence have earned him plenty of plaudits, and Enrique is among his admirers. He said:

> Jordi Alba has been good as well but he \[Robertson\] has been unbelievable. He’s given a lot of assists, contributed to the team offensively and defensively as well.

> He has been for me, one of the best players for Liverpool this year.

Following such an exceptional season at Anfield, Robertson will likely be regarded as a crucial player for Jurgen Klopp as he bids to lead Liverpool to an unprecedented Premier League title next term.
