The Merseyside derby at Anfield once again delivered fireworks, with Liverpool edging past Everton 2-1 in a tense and emotional clash. Yet, it wasn’t just the result that grabbed headlines—it was what Jack Grealish revealed after the match that set the football world buzzing.
In a candid post-match reaction, Grealish admitted he had just witnessed something beyond belief:
> “I’ve gone up against Lamine Yamal, Mbappé, even Vinícius Júnior—but what I saw today from that lad was simply unreal.”
Interestingly, Grealish didn’t single out Mohamed Salah or Cody Gakpo—the names most expected. Instead, whispers from the Liverpool camp suggest his praise was directed at Dominik Szoboszlai, who put on a masterclass performance. The Hungarian international was unstoppable, driving forward with flair, dictating the tempo, and leaving Everton’s defense chasing shadows.
Anfield erupted multiple times as Szoboszlai’s creativity and relentless energy tore through the Toffees’ backline. Social media was instantly flooded with clips of his brilliance, fans labeling his display as “world-class.”
Even Liverpool boss Arne Slot couldn’t hide his admiration, describing the performance as “the kind you expect on the grandest European stages.”
For Grealish to compare a Liverpool player with the likes of Mbappé, Vinícius, and Yamal shows just how extraordinary this showing was. Supporters are now wondering—has Szoboszlai officially announced himself among football’s global elite?
Grealish summed it up with a statement that left jaws dropping:
> “Today, he was better than Lamine Yamal—no doubt about it.”
Liverpool march on with their title chase, but the real story might just be the birth of another Anfield superstar
