In a thrilling European clash on October 22nd, 2025, Liverpool overcame an early deficit to secure a dramatic victory against Frankfurt. The Bundesliga side had taken the lead, but Liverpool's France international Ekitike struck the crucial equalizer to get his new team back into the match.
The game saw a battle of new signings, with Ekitike outshining British record signing Alexander Isak, who struggled with sharpness. Liverpool's manager Arne Slot had put his faith in £300m-worth of new talent, including Florian Wirtz, to stop their recent poor run of form.
It was the experienced duo of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté who delivered the killer blows, scoring free headers from corners just before half-time. Wirtz then came into his own in the second half, providing assists for Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai to cap a happy return to Germany.
Despite the early setback, Liverpool's resilience and quality shone through, securing a crucial victory that will boost their confidence going forward.
