Steven Nicol hailed Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister as the standout performers for Liverpool in their 2-1 victory against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. The German playmaker and French winger both scored either side of halftime to turn the tide in the Reds' favor. Florian Wirtz, Liverpool's 7, put in an impressive performance and received praise from the pundit.
Nicol stated that Wirtz had his best game for the club in this match, exhibiting all the qualities they value in their players. Wirtz set up Barcelona-bound Alexander Isak with several crucial passes, including the one leading to Mac Allister's goal. Despite not receiving an assist, Wirtz nearly did so when Barcelona's Barcola missed an opportunity to score.
The 23-year-old has been consistently linked up with Isak in recent weeks, hinting at a potential dynamic partnership. Nicol expressed optimism for Wirtz's future at Liverpool, hoping that his output will improve and he can replicate this level of play throughout the season.
