Former London "Arsenal" coach Arsène Wenger pointed a finger at a huge "Liverpool" mistake.

According to the Frenchman, last summer the "Reds" significantly erred by acquiring Bayer Leverkusen representative Florian Wirtz.

"Before arriving, the German mentioned that he plans to take the number 10 position and will not want to play on the flanks."

"Liverpool" satisfied that desire of his and thus dismantled their midfield line, which consisted of Gravenberch, Mac Allister, and Szoboszlai.

In the match against "Real," coach Arne Slot probably told Wirtz that the German would need to play wide, as he no longer wants to unbalance the midfield chain," said A. Wenger.
