Liverpool banished the recent demons by taking to the road in Europe and showing the Champions League that they’re still a serious footballing unit by thumping Frankfurt 5-1.

Eintracht Frankfurt 1-5 Liverpool

Champions League (3) | Deutsche Bank Stadium
October 22, 2025

Goals: Kristensen 26′; Ekitike 34′, Van Dijk 38′, Konate 44′, Gakpo 66′, Szoboszlai 70′

Giorgi Mamardashvili – 6 (out of 10)

Understandably looked like a man uncertain in the opening stages of this one, his first touch tentative and desire to get rid of possession obvious.

Looked crestfallen after conceding the opener, which he arguably could have been better placed at address, but found his groove thereafter and solidified.

Held his own in the second half, but looks a tad shaky with the ball at feet.

Still – with a lead to protect and all eyes on you while deputising for the living legend that is Alisson – it can’t be an easy time to be Liverpool’s stand-in stopper.

Andy Robertson – 7

Needed the opening stages to shake the rust, and for the Frankfurt goal – through his legs – to inject some adrenaline into the veins.

Took it personally and used it to his advantage...
