5 to 1! The lost giants win wildly! The 125 million euro superstar has 2 assists

At 3:00 on October 23, 2025, in the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Frankfurt faced Liverpool at home. Before this game, Liverpool had lost four consecutive games in all competitions. If they lose again, they will suffer five consecutive losses for the first time in the team's history in nearly 72 years.

In the first half, Rasmussen scored the first goal for Frankfurt, and then Ekitic, Van Dijk and Konate scored consecutive goals to help Liverpool take the lead. Frankfurt was temporarily 1 to 3 Liverpool. In the second half, Wirtz's iron tree blossomed and assisted Gakpo and Szoboszlai to expand the score. In the end, Liverpool defeated Frankfurt 5-1 in an away game, finally stopping their losing streak!

First, let’s take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. Frankfurt starting line-up: Zeitel, Tate, Koch, Amanda, R-Christensen, N-Brown, Hugo Larsson, Gotze, Knauf, Bahoya, Tang Anlu.

Liverpool starting lineup: Mamardashvili, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Frimpong, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Jones, Isaac, Gakpo, Ekitic. It is worth noting that Slott arranged for Isaac and Ekitic to start at the same time and put Salah on the bench.

In the 18th minute, Frimpong left the game due to a muscle injury and Bradley came on as a substitute.

In the 26th minute, Frankfurt made a smooth and quick counterattack. Rasmussen broke into the right side of the penalty area and scored with a blast! Frankfurt 1-0 Liverpool!

In the 35th minute, Robertson made a precise pass and Ekitic scored with a single shot! Frankfurt 1-1 Liverpool!

In the 39th minute, Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity on the left, and Gakpo assisted Van Dijk with a header! Frankfurt 1 to 2 Liverpool!

In the 44th minute, Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity on the right, and Szoboszlai assisted Konate to score with a header! Frankfurt 1 to 3 Liverpool!

In the 66th minute, Liverpool counterattacked quickly. Wirtz made a low pass from the right, and Gakpo in the penalty area outflanked and scored! Frankfurt 1 to 4 Liverpool!

In the 70th minute, Wirtz hit a cross, and Szoboszlai scored another victory from outside the penalty area! Frankfurt 1 to 5 Liverpool!

You know, after Wirtz joined Liverpool this summer with a sky-high transfer fee of 125 million euros, his statistics in official games were 0 for a long time and he was ridiculed. Now he has received 2 assists! Congratulations!

The game is over! Liverpool beat Frankfurt 5-1! Van Dijk, who contributed 1 goal and 6 assists, was elected the best player of the game!

To be honest, Liverpool was able to win this big victory mainly because Frankfurt's defense was so bad. Frankfurt conceded 18 goals in the first seven rounds of the Bundesliga and is the worst defensive team in the league.

But for Liverpool, it is ultimately a good thing to gain this victory that stabilizes the morale of the army. After Salah came on as a substitute, Liverpool's right side was paralyzed again. At the last moment, they did not pass the ball to Wirtz who was facing the empty goal. This really hurt the team.

In addition to giving 2 assists in this game, Wirtz also did an excellent job of running, pressing and returning to defense. He is becoming more and more relaxed in his own game, and his tacit understanding with his teammates is getting better and better. As for Isaac, his current state is obviously not online, and the starting position should be Ekitic's.
