Florian Wirtz is continuing to show exactly why Liverpool have so much faith in him, delivering another moment of brilliance as Germany extended their lead against Serbia in the UEFA Nations League.
The Liverpool playmaker scored a superb goal in the 14th minute at the Rajko Mitić Stadium in Belgrade, making it 2-0 after Germany had already taken an early lead through a Serbian own goal.
Germany opened the scoring just three minutes into the match when Srdjan Babić inadvertently turned the ball into his own net following a corner involving Kai Havertz’s header.
However, it was Wirtz’s contribution that stole the headlines.
After Havertz’s attempt was not properly dealt with, the ball fell invitingly to Wirtz just outside the penalty area. The 23-year-old showed excellent composure, controlled the ball brilliantly and lifted a clever finish over the advancing goalkeeper before guiding it into the back of the net.
The goal was subsequently checked by VAR before being given, confirming Germany’s two-goal advantage.
🔥 KLOPP’S INFLUENCE? WIRTZ LOOKS MORE COMFORTABLE!
Wirtz’s latest international goal is another encouraging sign of his growing confidence under Germany manager Jürgen Klopp.
The Liverpool star had already found the net against Serbia in their previous meeting in October, and he is once again showing his attacking quality on the international stage.
His performance also comes at an important time for Liverpool.
After enduring a difficult start to life in the Premier League, Wirtz finally ended his wait for a league goal on November 8, scoring in Liverpool’s 3-1 away victory over Crystal Palace.
That breakthrough could prove significant as the German continues adapting to English football.
Liverpool supporters will be delighted to see their £116m playmaker finding his rhythm, growing in confidence and producing the kind of moments that made him one of Europe’s most exciting young talents.
If he can carry this confidence back to Anfield, Liverpool could have a very exciting player on their hands for the remainder of the season.
Liverpool fans, are we finally beginning to see the real Florian Wirtz? 👀🔥
