Making an impeccable Champions League debut won't change Nathaniel Phillips' calm, modest approach to his work.
The 23-year-old achieved a bow at the top level of European club competition last Wednesday as Liverpool moved into the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over RB Leipzig that wrapped up a 4-0 aggregate success.
Phillips was formidable at the heart of the defence, his partnership with Ozan Kabak underpinning the Reds’ sixth clean sheet in eight Champions League fixtures this season.
It was the latest significant milestone in a breakthrough campaign for Phillips, who is in line to make a 10th Premier League appearance at Wolverhampton Wanderers tonight.
