The centre-back committed his future to the Reds by putting pen to paper on the deal at Melwood on Friday afternoon, ensuring his time with the club will extend well beyond his fourth full season on Merseyside.
Matip was, of course, an integral part of Jürgen Klopp’s side’s run to – and subsequent success in – last term’s Champions League final.
His outstanding form has continued into the current campaign, in which he has helped Liverpool open up an eight-point lead at the league’s summit after eight matches.
