The English star became the focal point in Liverpool’s 5-1 Champions League triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt thanks to his midfield control and ability to manage the game’s tempo. His calm ball handling, intelligent movement, and seamless coordination with teammates created balance and laid the foundation for sharp attacking plays.
In this match, Jones set an impressive milestone by completing 122 out of 127 passes accurately—the highest for any Liverpool player in the Champions League since the 2003-04 season, according to Opta statistics. His passing accuracy reached 96%, he was fouled twice—the most on the team—and won 4 out of 7 ground duels. These figures not only highlight his passing skills but also demonstrate his broad tactical influence, helping Liverpool maintain game rhythm and execute diverse attacking strategies.
