Liverpool, nicknamed "The Reds," defeated Ligue 1 side Marseille 3-0 in a key match of the 7th round of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, thanks to goals from Szoboszlai and Gakpo. Frimpong stated that it was a well-deserved victory and expressed confidence that the team has the potential to achieve success in this competition.
In the first half stoppage time, Szoboszlai scored directly from a free kick, giving Liverpool a 1-0 lead. In the 72nd minute of the second half, Frimpong received the ball and passed it across, and Marseille goalkeeper Gironimo Rulli inadvertently deflected the ball into his own net while attempting to block it, extending Liverpool's lead to 2-0.
In the final stages, Hrafinberg delivered a diagonal pass, and Gakopo slotted home. Ultimately, Liverpool defeated De Zelbi's Marseille 3-0 away from home.
Liverpool defender Frimpong said in an interview, "We defended very well, attacked very well, and played very well overall. Everything went smoothly, and I don't think we gave the opponent many chances. It was a well-deserved victory."
“We played very well, controlled possession and created chances, and we took them, so I have nothing to complain about.”
When discussing the goal, Frimpong shared, "After I got past the opposing player, I saw Salah and saw him running towards the goalkeeper, so I just passed the ball to him, and it hit the goalkeeper. I don't care how the ball went in, as long as it's a goal, so it's great."
Furthermore, Liverpool are currently fourth in the standings with 15 points, and in the next round they will host Qarabag at home. The Reds only need 3 points to secure a place in the Champions League round of 16.
Frimpong continued, "We are currently in a good position in the Champions League, and of course we will take it one game at a time, and we are still in the competition. Obviously, anything is possible in the final stages."
