Kostas Tsimikas unexpectedly captained Liverpool in their Champions League match against LASK. This marked his first time leading the team on the field in an official game.
Manager Andoni Iraola placed his faith in the Greek defender, leaving Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez on the bench until midway through the second half.
For Tsimikas, this was a significant personal achievement, especially as he has been in a tough battle for game time against Milos Kerkenez.
The defender excelled in his leadership role, contributing to a thrilling 6-3 victory for the Reds.
In the first half, Tsimikas delivered a pinpoint corner that allowed Ronald Araujo to score his first goal for Liverpool. After the break, he provided an exquisite cross for Jeremy Frimpong, marking his second assist of the match.
