Dive into Bwin's post-match review of Eintracht Frankfurt 1-5 Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, 22 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Liverpool's commanding 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League was a display of dominance that extended their winning run in the competition. The result was not surprising given Liverpool's recent form, having lost narrowly to Galatasaray away, while Eintracht Frankfurt suffered a heavy defeat to Atlético Madrid in their last outing. The game saw Liverpool take control early, with three goals in the first half, showcasing their clinical finishing and tactical superiority.
Eintracht Frankfurt struggled to match Liverpool's intensity and quality throughout the match. Despite managing a goal in the 26th minute, Frankfurt's defence was repeatedly breached, highlighting their ongoing struggles in European competition. This loss marks another setback for Frankfurt, who now face an uphill battle to progress in the tournament, while Liverpool's performance reaffirms their status as serious contenders.
The statistics from the match clearly reflect Liverpool's dominance, with 65% possession compared to Frankfurt's 35%. Liverpool's 10 corners to Frankfurt's 2 further illustrate their control and pressure on the opposition. Despite Frankfurt's slightly higher successful dribble percentage at 57%, it was Liverpool's efficiency in front of goal that made the difference, with five assists to Frankfurt's one.
The yellow cards issued to Frankfurt players, totalling two, indicate a level of frustration and perhaps a tactical foul approach to disrupt Liverpool's rhythm. However, this did not deter Liverpool, who maintained discipline with no cards received, allowing them to focus on their attacking play and secure a convincing victory.
Eintracht Frankfurt's early goal in the 26th minute provided a brief glimmer of hope, but it was quickly extinguished by Liverpool's relentless attack. The Reds scored three times before halftime, with goals in the 35th, 39th, and 44th minutes, effectively sealing the match early. These quickfire goals not only showcased Liverpool's offensive prowess but also demoralised Frankfurt, making a comeback highly unlikely.
In the second half, Liverpool continued their dominance, adding two more goals in the 66th and 70th minutes. These late strikes further highlighted the gap in quality between the two teams, with Liverpool's ability to maintain their intensity and precision throughout the match proving decisive. The key moments clearly favoured Liverpool, who capitalised on every opportunity to secure a comprehensive win.
Eintracht Frankfurt lined up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Michael Zetterer in goal and a back three of Aurèle Amenda, Robin Koch, and Arthur Theate. The midfield was anchored by Mario Götze and Hugo Larsson, with Rasmus Kristensen and Nathaniel Brown on the flanks. Up front, Ritsu Doan, Ansgar Knauff, and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya were tasked with leading the attack.
Despite the formation, Frankfurt struggled to contain Liverpool's attacking threats, and the early substitutions of five players suggest a tactical shift in an attempt to salvage the game. However, no individual stood out significantly, and the team's performance was overshadowed by Liverpool's dominance.
Liverpool deployed a 4-4-2 formation, with Giorgi Mamardashvili between the posts and a backline of Jeremie Frimpong, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, and Andrew Robertson. The midfield quartet of Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, and C. Gakpo provided the platform for the attacking duo of Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitiké.
The lineup proved highly effective, with Szoboszlai's standout performance driving Liverpool's attack. The substitutions made by Liverpool were strategic and maintained their momentum, ensuring that the team's intensity did not wane. The formation and player selections were spot on, contributing significantly to the comprehensive victory.
Dominik Szoboszlai earned Bwin's Man of the Match award with a stellar performance against Eintracht Frankfurt. His contribution was pivotal, scoring one goal and providing one assist, while also creating three big chances and making five key passes. Szoboszlai's influence on the game was undeniable, showcasing his ability to control the midfield and dictate the tempo of Liverpool's attack.
