In a recent key match, Germany defeated Northern Ireland 3-1 at home, securing their first World Cup qualifying victory. In this match, Wirtz finally vindicated himself with a stunning free kick.

Wirtz signed for a whopping €140 million in the summer transfer window, acquiring the No. 7 Liverpool jersey. Since then, his performances have been underwhelming, both in the Premier League and with the German national team. In particular, in Germany's opening World Cup qualifying match, a 0-2 loss to Slovakia, Wirtz faced criticism for his lack of leadership qualities. This time, however, Wirtz finally lived up to the hype.

After scoring, Wirtz, wearing the No. 17 Germany jersey, celebrated by covering his ears with one hand, seemingly responding to the doubters. It's believed that as Wirtz gradually integrates into Liverpool, he will continue to perform well for the German national team.
