- Dominik Szoboszlai's early injury forced a substitution, but Isak's clinical finish highlighted his value as a top striker, justifying his high transfer fee.
- Despite flashes of promise from Bradley Barcola and Florian Wirtz, it was Munoz who made the most impact in the second half, scoring and driving forward from an unconventional position.
- Alexis Mac Allister was active and effective in midfield, helping to stabilize the team amid injuries and suspensions, though Liverpool's midfield control remained challenged.
- Jeremy Jacquet showed resilience in a tough match, while manager Andoni Iraola earned praise for his team's perseverance and tactical adjustments in a difficult away fixture.
