Liverpool's Florian Wirtz Scores Stunning Free-Kick in Germany's Comeback Win
8 Sep
Summary
- Florian Wirtz scores free-kick goal for Germany in 3-1 win over Northern Ireland
- Germany captain Joshua Kimmich spoke to Wirtz before the goal, but Wirtz didn't hear what he said
- Wirtz has yet to score for Liverpool but assisted in the Community Shield
On September 9th, 2025, Liverpool's Florian Wirtz played a key role in Germany's 3-1 comeback victory over Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifier. The 22-year-old midfielder scored a stunning free-kick goal to put Germany back in the lead after the visitors had equalized.
Prior to Wirtz's goal, Germany captain Joshua Kimmich approached him and seemingly said something, though Wirtz later admitted he did not hear what the Bayern Munich player told him. Nonetheless, Wirtz's free-kick proved to be the decisive moment, as Germany went on to secure the three points.
Despite his impressive performance for the national team, Wirtz is yet to find the back of the net for his new club, Liverpool. However, the Köln native has shown glimpses of his quality, providing an assist in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace last month. As he continues to adapt to the Premier League, Liverpool fans will be hoping Wirtz can soon translate his international form to the domestic stage and open his account for the Reds.
