![]() The Italian's club president later claimed that Skrtel's wife did not want to move to Bergamo. He departed for Fenerbahce in July 2016, and later signed for Atlanta in 2019 - only to have his contracted terminated after three weeks. Though the tough-tackling Slovakian had an error in him, he did have some positive moments at the club - scoring seven goals for the Reds in the 2013-14 season as they chased the title. Skrtel joined the club in 2008 and spent eight seasons at the club, in which he proved himself as a competent centre-back, making 320 appearances for the club. Wearing the captain's armband for Liverpool on that night was their defensive stalwart Skrtel. ![]() He has impressed with his performances in both European and domestic competitions for the Belgian side, making 179 appearances across all competitions. He was part of the squad that won the Champions League in 2019, but was reserve to Liverpool's current shot-stopper Alisson, and left that summer for Club Brugge - where he remains to this day. He later lost his place to Loris Karius - having to watch on from the bench as the German made two costly mistakes in Liverpool's 3-1 Champions League final loss to Real Madrid in 2018. He soon returned to the starting line-up when his replacement Brad Jones suffered an injury. His appearance against Real Madrid came a month before he was dropped by Rodgers after a number of high-profile errors. He was signed by Brendan Rodgers in 2013 to replace Pepe Reina, but had a turbulent time at Anfield losing his place in the team on several occasions. The Belgian keeper was one of the few first-choice players to make the starting XI for Liverpool on that day.
