سجّل المهاجم السويدي ألكسندر إيزاك ظهوره الأول مع ليفربول، بعد انتقاله القياسي من نيوكاسل مقابل 125 مليون جنيه إسترليني، في الفوز المثير لفريقه على أتلتيكو مدريد الاسباني بثلاثة أهداف لهدفين في الجولة الأولى من دوري أبطال أوروبا 2025-2026 على ملعب أنفيلد.
إيزاك شارك أساسياً تحت أنظار جماهير «الكوب» ولعب 58 دقيقة قبل أن يفسح المجال للوافد الفرنسي هوغو إيكيتيكي. وخلال مشاركته الأولى، أظهر المهاجم الواعد لمحات من قيمته الهجومية، حيث لمس الكرة 25 مرة ومرر بدقة بلغت 81% (13 من أصل 16)، إلى جانب صناعة فرصة محققة رفعت معدل مساهماته المتوقعة في الأهداف (xA) إلى 0.53. كما سدد مرتين على المرمى إحداهما بين القائمين، ودخل في عدة صراعات ثنائية فاز بثلاثة منها، ونجح في تدخلين دفاعيين ساعدا الفريق. ونال ايزاك تقييم 6.8 من 10 عن أدائه في المباراة.
وعلى الرغم من أنه لم يترك بصمته التهديفية بعد، إلا أن ظهوره الأول عكس سبب رهان ليفربول على ضمه كأغلى لاعب في تاريخ إنجلترا، حيث جمع بين القوة البدنية والتحركات الذكية وصناعة المساحات لزملائه.
المدرب أرني سلوت أكد بعد اللقاء أن إيزاك «لا يحتاج لإثبات نفسه في إنجلترا بعدما أظهر جودته في نيوكاسل»، مشيراً إلى أن اللاعب سيصل تدريجياً إلى جاهزيته الكاملة مع توالي المباريات.
وبينما شهدت المباراة أحداثاً مثيرة من أهداف مبكرة لمحمد صلاح وأندرو روبرتسون، وتعادل ماركوس يورينتي مرتين لأتلتيكو، قبل أن يحسم فيرجيل فان دايك الانتصار برأسية قاتلة، بقيت الأنظار مسلطة بشكل أكبر على الظهور الأول للوافد السويدي، الذي يُنتظر أن يشكل أحد أبرز الأوراق الهجومية للريدز في مشوارهم الأوروبي هذا الموسم.

The Swedish striker Alexander Isak made his debut with Liverpool after his record transfer from Newcastle for £125 million, in his team's thrilling victory over Spanish Atletico Madrid with a score of three goals to two in the first round of the 2025-2026 UEFA Champions League at Anfield.
Isak started the match under the watchful eyes of the "Kop" fans and played for 58 minutes before making way for the French newcomer Hugo Ekitike. During his first appearance, the promising striker showcased glimpses of his attacking value, as he touched the ball 25 times and had a passing accuracy of 81% (13 out of 16), in addition to creating a clear chance that raised his expected contributions to goals (xA) to 0.53. He also took two shots on goal, one of which was on target, engaged in several duels winning three of them, and succeeded in two defensive interventions that helped the team. Isak received a rating of 6.8 out of 10 for his performance in the match.
Although he has yet to leave his scoring mark, his debut reflected the reason Liverpool bet on signing him as the most expensive player in English history, as he combined physical strength, smart movements, and the ability to create space for his teammates.
Coach Arne Slot confirmed after the match that Isak "does not need to prove himself in England after showing his quality at Newcastle," noting that the player will gradually reach his full readiness as matches continue.
While the match featured exciting events with early goals from Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson, and Marcus Llorente equalizing twice for Atletico, before Virgil van Dijk secured the victory with a last-minute header, the spotlight remained largely on the Swedish newcomer’s debut, who is expected to be one of the key attacking assets for the Reds in their European campaign this season.
