Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai played a pivotal role for the club once again as the Reds beat rival Real Madrid. Arne Slot’s men continue their road to rejuvenation after a drop in their form, suffering six losses in all competitions.
Nevertheless, Szoboszlai has continued to give impressive performances regardless of the positions Slot instructed him to play during this season. The 25-year-old Hungarian captain has also played as a makeshift right-back in the absence of Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley.
Szoboszlai’s performance consistently shines, even amidst the challenging times for the team that needs time to adjust to new players. Against their bitter Spanish rival, Szoboszlai played as a midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation with Bradley taking the right-back position.

The Reds convincingly beat Real 1-0 at Anfield in a game that had the potential for a much bigger scoreline. However, Los Blancos keeper Thibaut Courtois continued his shot-stopping form against Liverpool, which previously cost them the Champions League final.
The second win in a row gives the Reds a good platform and confidence to rejuvenate their form under Slot. Szoboszlai is the team’s most in-form player, and it’s clear that midfield is his best position.
According to stat-based site FotMob, the 25-year-old registered 77% accurate passes from 39 attempts, creating three chances for the Reds. Szoboszlai made eight passes in the final third and delivered 100% accurate crosses, with one free kick leading to the winning goal scored by Alexis Mac Allister.
Furthermore, the in-form Liverpool midfielder made six recoveries and one interception while winning two duels in his all-round performance. Liverpool management and fans are hoping that Szoboszlai’s form continues as they push to right the recent wrongs.
The Reds will face Manchester City next in the away game before the international break commences. Liverpool and Szoboszlai must be confident that their recent slump is over before the break.
