"It was a great performance from the team, in a game that just two weeks ago would have gone in a much worse direction for the Reds. Liverpool limited Madrid to eight shots with just two on target, a sign of the progress this defence is making. The Reds dominated the Spanish giants and looked a constant threat throughout the 90 minutes, only denied more goals by the Belgian shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois, who saves his best performances for his games against Liverpool."
"Florian Wirtz started his 10th game of the season, with the German putting in his best performance to date. Physicality, energy, quality and purpose, all ways to describe the Florian Wirtz of Tuesday night's match. He had the freedom in the attacking phase of play; he started out on the left of the 3 supporting Hugo Ekitike and looked extremely comfortable in the new role."
Liverpool secured consecutive wins after a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa and a Champions League result over Real Madrid. The defence limited Madrid to eight shots and only two on target, indicating clear defensive improvement. Liverpool dominated the match and created regular threats, with Thibaut Courtois preventing additional goals. Florian Wirtz started his tenth game and delivered his best performance, showing physicality, energy, quality and purpose. Wirtz operated with freedom on the left of a front three, showcased one-touch linkup, found pockets of space, and developed strong interplay with Hugo Ekitike. Wirtz’s creative attributes make him a preferred left-sided option over Cody Gakpo.
