Liverpool surprised: the masterstroke at 34 million

By OnzeActu · il y a 1 jour · 5 min read

Liverpool were beaten 3-0 at home by Manchester City, in a match marked by an expulsion and several absences of key players. While Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola, recruited for more than 100 million pounds each, are struggling to establish themselves, Victor Muñoz, bought for 34 million, has shown an exemplary attitude and remarkable commitment. This contrast raises questions about the choices and performances of the Reds' offensive stars.

According to Sports.

Context

Victor Muñoz, bought for 34 million, was a ray of light in an otherwise bleak performance for Liverpool. His commitment and exemplary attitude contrast sharply with the performances of more expensive signings, raising questions about the expectations placed on these players. As Liverpool look to bounce back, Muñoz could become a key part in their quest for Premier League success.

Why it matters

Liverpool's defeat against Manchester City highlights the challenges the club faces at the start of the season. With several key players missing, the team is struggling to find their rhythm and perform at their best, which could have a significant impact on their run in the Premier League. The disappointing performances of expensive recruits also raise questions about the club's strategic choices.

Sunday evening at Anfield, Liverpool conceded a heavy 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, a decisive meeting where the expulsion of Ryan Gravenberch in the 60th minute clearly changed the course of the match. Until this premature exit, the match was close and balanced, but ten against eleven, the Reds quickly lost control against the cityzen offensives led by Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki, authors of the three goals.

This defeat is the first for Basque Andoni Iraola as Liverpool coach. Forced to cope without several quality players who were injured or unavailable, including Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak, the coach found himself lacking offensive solutions. Lewis Koumas has tried to occupy the role of striker, but his qualities have not yet replaced those lost from players like Isak or Gakpo. The absence of Hugo Ekitike, also injured, did not help matters.

All eyes are on the most expensive summer recruits: Florian Wirtz, who arrived from Bayer Leverkusen for 116 million pounds in 2025, and Bradley Barcola, recruited from PSG for 123 million also this summer. So far, despite the amounts involved, these two players have not yet scored a goal this season nor really worried opposing defenses, even less on Sunday at Anfield. This performance deficit is all the more worrying as they are supposed to represent the offensive future and the pillars of the Liverpool project under Iraola.

At the same time, it was Victor Muñoz who eclipsed his star teammates. The Spanish winger, world champion and recent transfer from Osasuna for 34 million pounds by activating his release clause, demonstrated exceptional commitment. Very active, he harassed the opposing defenders, multiplied the duels and covered a large part of the field with exemplary determination: "His attitude is exemplary, he quickly became essential for the Basque coach", underlines James Pearce of The Athletic.

While Liverpool can hope to field an attacking trio worth around 400 million in full form (Wirtz, Isak and Barcola), the gap in performance is worrying one month before the start of the Champions League season. Victor Muñoz, from a strategic transfer with a release clause, appears to be the revelation of this start of the season and an example to follow for the extremely expensive stars who will quickly have to justify their weight on the pitch.

The rest

Liverpool will have to quickly find solutions to overcome this defeat and improve their game, especially with crucial matches coming up in the Premier League. Coach Andoni Iraola will have to work on team cohesion and the integration of his new recruits, notably Wirtz and Barcola, to hope for a return to form. The season promises to be difficult if the Reds do not manage to regain their offensive efficiency.
