Kostas Tsimikas has quietly racked up three assists in Liverpool’s two opening Champions League matches this season. According to Empire of the Kop, he is now joint-second in the competition for assists across the first three matchdays, level with several top-flight players and behind only Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.
The left-back made the most of his starts against LASK and Villarreal, providing two assists in the 6-3 win in Austria and another for Alexis Mac Allister in Tuesday’s match. He outranks Harry Kane, Enzo Fernández and several others in that metric.
Tsimikas has had limited Premier League action under Andoni Iraola, hauled off at half-time in his only top-flight start so far, but he has used his Champions League opportunities well. His contract expires at the end of this season, and with injuries affecting the squad, chances may continue to come.
