Szoboszlai Shines as Liverpool Edge Inter — Player Ratings Reveal Mixed Night in Milan
Liverpool escaped the San Siro with a hard-fought 1–0 victory, and the player ratings tell a story of grit, brilliance, and a few worrying performances. Dominik Szoboszlai stood out as the driving force in midfield, earning an impressive 8/10 after relentlessly pressing, covering every blade of grass, and calmly converting a high-pressure penalty.
Ryan Gravenberch also delivered one of his most assured games in recent weeks, operating confidently in tight spaces and pushing Liverpool forward with composed touches and clever movement. His resurgence earned him a well-deserved rating of 8/10.
However, the night was far from perfect. Alexander Isak struggled to make any impact, receiving just a 4/10. His link-up play was off, his movement lacked its usual sharpness, and he spent long periods disengaged from the attack — a disappointing outing for a £125m forward.
Hugo Ekitike produced a mixed performance, rated at 6/10. While he showed flashes of threat on the ball, he lacked composure when it mattered most, with his decision-making swinging between promising and frustrating.
Ibrahima Konaté earned a 7/10 after a better defensive display compared to recent games. Although he remained shaky at times in possession, he was unfortunate to see his goal ruled out and still contributed with strong defensive work despite ongoing distribution concerns.
The rest of the squad held steady with consistent 7/10 performances — Alisson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, and Curtis Jones all delivering solid shifts. Off the bench, Wirtz and Bradley added energy and influence, each earning a 6/10 for their contributions.
