Cody Gakpo (7 out of 10):
twice in the first half and once more, on a one-on-one basis, in the second half. If he wants to establish himself as a vital member of the Anfield team, he must add a deadly touch to his superb build-up play.
Darwin Nunez (grade: 9):
scored a wonderful goal to put Liverpool ahead 2-0, blasting a 30-yard shot into the net. At the close of the half, he added a volley. appeared for the second half of the match, but was unexpectedly substituted to prevent a hat-trιck. An amazing performance.
Luis Diaz (6/10):
Finished an Elliott pass by deflection in the second half after being peripheral in the first. When the ball comes to him, he is always a threаt.
Kelleher Caoimhin (7/10):
once more asserted his status as the greatest backup custodian in the Premier League by making a string of superb saves as Prague persisted in their оffensive. Bradley’s own goal gave him no chance.
Joe Gomez (rated 5 out of 10):
Excellent goal-line clearing following a fantastic reaction save by Kelleher, albeit only after he was momentarily caught out of position. Had to make a few crucial blocks, but after halftime, he seemed a little hesitant at right back and was replaced.
Endo Wataru (6/10):
There was some agricultural tackling, but it was occasionally omitted during build-up. But he put forth a lot of effort and was always ready to accept the ball.
(7/10) Alexis Mac Allister:
went up to score the early penalty that Liverpool had won through incredible pressing. Nunez’s volley was made possible by his assist, demonstrating his constant effort to advance the ball. used a second-half substitution to preserve his legs.
Conor Bradley: (Score: 6)
chipped a clearance into the top corner with his first touch, scoring an own goal to put Sparta back in the game. But after some excellent work down the right, he put in a lot of effort and created the space for Diaz’s goal.

Van Dijk, Virgil (6/10):
For Konate, on. nearly instantly calmed down the backline.
Szoboszlai Dominik (7/10):
took Nunez’s position. Had a few attempts on goal, most of them long range, and then added a fifth with a stylish finish.
Bobby Clark (6/10):
made his European debut after replacing Mac Allister in the second half. constantly applied great pressure and won the ball before Salah was able to score, albeit his shot was ruled off.
Mohamed Salah (score: 6):
On for the last twenty minutes in place of Diaz. Thought he had made it 5-1 with a superb finish inside the area, but VAR disqualified it for offside.
Klopp, J. (6/10):
Will has been really pleased with Nunez and extremely dissatisfied with some of his team’s playmaking. The disjointed backline battled and only found serenity with the arrival of Van Dijk.
5/10 for Jarell Quansah:
a touch hesitant with the ball and frequently dragged out of defence, opening the line to dаnger. After he was by Van Dijk, he calmed down.
Ibrahima Konate (grade: 5):
Despite his bravery, he can appear awkward at times, and before his ιnjury-forced switch, he was repeatedly injured. Incoherent performance.
Robertson Andrew (5/10):
The most seasoned combatant for Liverpool, yet he didn’t seem eager to advance, perhaps in an effort to maintain control of the line. Despite being defeated a few times, Sparta was unable to muster any momentum in the last third.
Harvey Elliott (Rank: 5/10):
Sparta had a great chance, but they lost the ball in the build-up and missed an open goal. helped deflect Diaz’s shot.
