After Alexander Isak’s debut, Liverpool supporters have started responding on social media.
Liverpool welcomed Spanish La Liga powerhouses Atletico Madrid to Anfield on Wednesday night to begin their UEFA Champions League campaign.
When Arne Slot announced Isak as his starting striker prior to the game, all eyes were on his starting lineup.
On the day of the transfer deadline, the Swedish international paid a British record £125 million to join Liverpool from Newcastle United.
Isak has been included in the starting lineup for the first time after missing Sunday’s late victory over Burnley.
Andy Robertson deflected Mohamed Salah’s free kick into the net, giving Liverpool the lead within the opening five minutes.
Two minutes after that, Salah scored to give Slot’s team a 2-0 lead.
Marcos Llorente’s goal just before halftime gave Atletico a chance to even the score.
Liverpool supporters’ reactions to Isak’s debut on social media seem to be mixed. Some are highlighting his attributes, while others claim that the 25-year-old is still not entirely fit.
