Wirtztastic! Liverpool haven’t seen this in over 20 years | OneFootball

After a difficult initial phase, Florian Wirtz has now become an undisputed regular starter at FC Liverpool. The DFB star showed why during yesterday’s 4-0 win in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Galatasaray.

Wirtz created a total of eight big chances for the Reds, more than any Liverpool player in a single Champions League match since detailed data collection began in 2003. On top of that, the 22-year-old also assisted Mo Salah’s 4-0 goal (22’).

If he keeps up this form, the 2026 World Cup can’t come soon enough.
