Rayan Cherki being extremely annoying, as always. Sneaks out of Scott’s cover, faces forward as he receives, then the little shove at the shoulder to fend off pressure from behind. Not enough for the ref to call a foul, enough to protect the ball.

“It’s just a lucky pass.” Nah, it’s just a player who’s comfortable passing with every part of his foot.

Was this a mistake from Heaven, or great timing from Mbaye? He’s aware of the danger but the left-foot step he took to anticipate Boly’s run makes intercepting the cross hard. Mbaye times his acceleration right after the scan & on that left-foot step.

Sells the fake shot with his arms, stomps & drags the ball back… then rolls it forward. Nothing will ever beat technique.

Stay on your toes. Stay “spring-loaded.” Light and reactive, quicker first step, better lateral push, cleaner adjustments. Heels cost you split seconds you can’t afford in 1v1s.

Might be a bit harsh here, but Gravenberch’s inability to consistently play these passes is limiting Liverpool. When carrying isn’t an option (even though it was in this sequence), his passing range lets him down.

Loved this duel from both sides. •Trev stays low, on his toes + side-on (most of the time), reacting well to Doku, eventually blocking the effort. •Doku drives at Trev’s hips, forces him back, then pulls his signature twitch the moment Trev goes square.

Mbappe with an unreal finish for France, but the work before it is equally brilliant for me. Olise & Dembele maintaining quick tempo, especially Dembouz with the 1st touch pass. Gives Bergvall no time to react and Gyok no time to close Mbappe down.

Manchester United’s 3rd goal was my favorite of the night. •Sesko’s (underrated) technical ability to separate & link play. •Mbeumo’s movement & touches to separate & freeze his marker and set up the shot. •Amad’s run to support & give Mbeumo more time.

Versatility & ball carrying aside, Djed Spence’s fundamentals in 1v1 defending are top (and consistent.) Legs rarely crossover, always “springy” & on his toes, and uses his frame so well when engaging. Think a move to LFC makes a lot of sense.

Marmoush keeps his eyes on the ball the entire time. Kossounou doesn’t, and that’s why Egypt go 1–0 up. He makes an outside run to pull the defender wide, reads the pass then the moment he sees the CB take his eyes off the ball, he steps inside.

1 minute was all it took for Galatasaray to expose Liverpool’s OOP setup. No reliable pressure = more time on the ball → more midfield movement to drag the CMs + LW moving inside. Find the free man and you’re good to slip passes through the high line.

Barcelona’s goal shows the simplicity and efficiency of Pedri’s game. He notices the lack of pressure, carries into space, and threads a perfectly weighted pass into the gap created by the front five stretching, pinning & attacking the defensive line.

Jones’ shot was probably the 1st time this Liverpool trio got that close together. Ekitike with the double movement to separate & receive before flicking the ball. Wirtz passing on the run with his left, & Jones with the deep run to arrive into space.

The movement from Sesko for both his goals was top. •1st goal: Comes around his marker and attacks the blind side of the CB. •2nd goal: slight change of direction to lose his marker and cut in front to meet the cross. He’ll be good for us.

Estevao got this “aggressiveness” in his dribbling that “freezes” his opponents, if that makes sense. He’ll drive at you, throw multiple feints, touches with both feet, you simply can’t decide how to approach him, and when you do, it’s too late.
