Florian Wirtz was named as the Player of the Match following Liverpool's victory on Wednesday, earning him a cash prize.

Wirtz, who completed a transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool last month, was awarded ¥1,000,000 (around $6,700) for his excellent display against Yokohama F.

Wirtz is under significant pressure to bring success to Liverpool after his record-breaking transfer.

He's become the club's most expensive signing, with Liverpool agreeing a deal worth up to £116 million (around $154.6 million) with Leverkusen, including add-ons.
