Florian Wirtz was once again in action for Germany as they battled to a friendly win over Ghana on Monday evening.

Abendzeitung-Muenchen gave the Liverpool No.7 a 3/5 and wrote: “After the Basel gala with two dream goals and two assists. Played decisively and hard after Woltemade’s lay-off – but was offside.” Meanwhile, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger gave him a 2/5 and wrote: “After his gala performance in Basel, agile and technically adept again.

Initiated the first good chance, scored to make it 1-0, which was wafer-thin offside.” Finally, the Speigel were very complimentary of the 22-year-old, simply commenting: “After hitting the left post with an early free kick, Ghana’s coach Otto Addo crossed himself on the sidelines: Thank God Wirtz didn’t make that mistake. His dribble before the penalty was a highlight of the evening.” For Liverpool, the hope will be that Wirtz can carry that rhythm and confidence straight back into club football ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup quarter‑final against Manchester City at the Etihad.
