Florian Wirtz: The Unexpected Rise of Liverpool’s Hidden Game-Changer
In Germany, Wirtz had hit double digits for both goals and assists in back‑to‑back seasons. Yet despite Liverpool winning matches early on, he remained without a league goal or assist beyond that early Community Shield moment. Then came a collective slump.
Liverpool collapsed into a dreadful run: nine defeats in twelve matches across competitions, winning only three. Wirtz shone in Champions League victories over Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Madrid — delivering two assists against Frankfurt — but the fact that both standout displays came against opposition from outside England only strengthened arguments that adapting to Premier League intensity was proving difficult.
