Szoboszlai Stars as Liverpool Wins 5-1 at Frankfurt

Liverpool ended a four-game slump with a 5-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Dominik Szoboszlai produced a midfield masterclass — completing 105 of 110 passes (95%), creating key chances, supplying a corner assist and scoring a thunderous strike. Florian Wirtz, deployed on the right in a 4-4-2, provided two assists to end his goal-involvement drought and later said in a DAZN interview he can do better. The result created a selection dilemma for manager Arne Slot after Mohamed Salah was again benched in the Champions League, with formation choices and Alexander Isak’s fitness likely to influence future lineups. Despite heavy summer spending and comparisons to elite sides, Liverpool showed encouraging signs though the new attacking group still needs time to fully click.
