Key players like Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai played the first half before being substituted for fresh legs like Gakpo and Andrew Robertson. Exciting news includes the anticipated debut of record signing Florian Wirtz, who came on board for over $150 million, and striker Hugo Ekitike, who joined for $106 million.
