00:00And Wirtz, oh my goodness!

00:05May the Kirsten's boy wonder.

00:07That's lovely stuff from Florian Wirtz.

00:10Florian Wirtz has bent down the beauty.

00:17Florian Wirtz, so tricky, so very, very tricky.

00:22Oh my goodness, what great footwork.

00:24And that's a marvellous goal!

00:30I don't like to talk about a single player.

00:36But for Florian, I would like to say something.

00:39It's always special when you make a debut in the Bundesliga.

00:42When you're 17 years old,

00:44I can imagine that you're a bit nervous before.

00:48But I haven't seen that.

00:49I think we should really put up for him in the future,

00:52because he has a lot of talent.

00:57This is Wirtz.

00:58Wirtz is going to run out of room again.

00:59Oh, he's curled it!

01:00Passed Malinois!

01:01And the youngster scores his first ever Bundesliga goal.

01:05Now I have to say, he is playing,

01:07now Bundesliga, the same way he was playing.

01:10He was 13, he was 14, 15, 16.

01:13I saw him, I followed him all the years.

01:15And I always said, okay, that's a player for us.

01:18That's a player for Bayern Leverkusen.

01:19That's a player for our style.

01:21His development is for sure fantastic.

01:23On the move for Leverkusen!

01:25The opening girl arrives in the ninth minute from Florian Wirtz.

01:29The youngest Bundesliga player to score ten goals.

01:34Oh, they've taken it on.

01:36Florian Wirtz with the LVN support.

01:38Florian Wirtz for Leverkusen!

01:40He is a top player, top talent.

01:48I'm sure when he is there, we will be better.

01:52An assist for Florian Wirtz!

01:55What an assist it was to Leverkusen's boy-win!

02:00For Wirtz, Hoffman!

02:03Lovely interplay!

02:05It's Wirtz!

02:06That is delicious, isn't it?

02:08Florian Wirtz has bent on the beauty!

02:14And Wirtz, oh my goodness!

02:17It's Florian Wirtz!

02:21What a pass for Wirtz,

02:22who's never scored a senior hat-trick!

02:24He has now!

02:43Wirtz can pick at a pass like few others.

02:48He can play on the left, he can play on the right,

02:50he can play in behind.

02:51And that's what I think Liverpool need.

02:54Another little creative spark,

02:56just that little bit higher.

02:57A little bit higher..

02:59A little bit higher.

03:00A little bit higher.

03:02What's that little bit higher?

03:03A little bit higher.

03:07You're most likely to see that in the next week you've got a taxi.
