Alexander Isak's stats have emerged after he made his official Liverpool debut against Atletico Madrid.
In front of a packed crowd inside Anfield, Liverpool and Atletico were involved in a Champions League classic.
Thanks to goals from Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah, Arne Slot's men raced to a 2-0 lead.
However, a brace from Marcos Llorente made it 2-2 before Virgil van Dijk scored a last-gasp header to seal a 3-2 victory.

As a result, Liverpool's 100% start to the 25/26 season continued.
During the match, Isak made his Liverpool debut after signing from Newcastle United for a British record fee of £125 million.
The Swedish international was eventually replaced by Hugo Ekitike in the 57th minute.

After making his first appearance in a Liverpool shirt, Isak's stats have emerged on social media.
According to CBS Sports, during his 57-minute cameo, Isak managed 25 touches, with four of them in the Atletico box.
In addition, the 25-year-old had two shots on goal, with just one of them on target.
Isak also made two passes into the final third and created one chance, while being dispossessed zero times.

Reflecting on Isak's debut, Liverpool vice-captain Robertson said: "I thought Isak was excellent. Not really had a pre-season, but especially in the first half he was excellent. Naturally got tired, and it’s amazing to have a player like Hugo come on. They’re the future, they’re the ones who are going to take this club forwards and I’m sure they’ll only get better.
"There’s so many players come in but they’re all young as well, so you do have to help them. It’s a completely different club to play for, one of the most demanding, and that comes with responsibility and pressure. We’ve all thrived on it and these lads will thrive on it as well."
Arne Slot's men will be back in Premier League action this weekend when they take on Everton at Anfield for the first Merseyside Derby of the 25/26 season.
