π¨ FLORIAN WIRTZ SHOWS HIS CLASS IN GERMANYβS LOSS TO PORTUGAL AS LIVERPOOL MOVE NEARS COMPLETION π΄π₯
In what may be one of Liverpoolβs most high-profile signings in years, Florian Wirtz continues to justify the hype with a brilliant display against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League β even as Germany fell 2-1 in Munich.
π©πͺ A Goal to Remember:
Wirtz opened the scoring for Germany with a sublime finish after a looping assist from Joshua Kimmich. Ghosting behind the Portuguese backline, he cushioned the ball beyond Diogo Costa with calm precision β a classic example of his off-the-ball intelligence and ice-cold finishing under pressure.
π His Full Performance:
Minutes played: 90
Goals: 1
Successful dribbles: 3/5
Ground duels won: 8/13
Touches in attacking third: Constant threat
Despite not having the height to dominate aerially, the 22-year-old dictated the flow in the final third, drifting into pockets between Bruno Fernandes and Vitinha, constantly asking questions of Portugalβs defense.
π΄ Liverpool Move Almost Done:
According to Mail Online’s German sources, Wirtzβs move to Liverpool is virtually sealed, and Reds fans are already imagining the German magician linking up with Salah, NΓΊΓ±ez, and Szoboszlai.
π What This Means for Liverpool:
With 16 goals and 15 assists in 2024/25 for Bayer Leverkusen, Wirtz is set to elevate the creativity at Anfield. He will compete directly with Dominik Szoboszlai for the advanced midfield role β and could even push for a system tweak by Arne Slot.
π£οΈ Wirtz on Shirt Number Rumors:
Recent rumors suggested he demanded the iconic No.10 shirt from Alexis Mac Allister. However, Wirtz addressed that directly, saying:
> βThatβs fake news. I respect Mac Allister a lot. What matters is the team, not the number.β
π₯ The Verdict:
Wirtz continues to show why Liverpool are betting big β Β£125M reportedly β on him. If his Germany performance is anything to go by, the Premier League champions are about to get even stron
ger.
Anfield awaits a new maestro.
