Liverpool FC players are central to the Oranje setup. At the back, Virgil van Dijk has already scored once and continues to lead the defence with strong positioning and control in key moments.
In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch has stood out with two assists. He has helped the Netherlands move the ball quickly and link play between defence and attack with confidence and clarity.
Highlights: Netherlands vs Sweden
In the final third, Cody Gakpo has been the main attacking outlet. He has scored two goals and added one assist, often finding space in dangerous areas and finishing chances with composure.
That Liverpool connection has given the Netherlands an added edge in attack and midfield. Their understanding has helped the team move the ball faster and create clearer chances in key moments, with combinations that feel well established even on the international stage.
As the tournament continues, that shared club experience offers the Netherlands a reliable source of creativity and goals, giving them balance and consistency in high pressure situations.
