LIVERPOOL fans spotted an error on Dominik Szoboszlai’s shirt during the Reds’ defeat to Bayern Munich yesterday – but it seems it’s not the first time it’s happened.
As cameras showed the team celebrating Cody Gakpo’s opener, viewers noticed the Hungarian midfielder’s name was spelled wrong on his shirt.

Szoboszlai starred at Leipzig before joining Liverpool and the German side had every sympathy for the Reds’ kitmen
The kit department were nearly there but printed “Szosbozlai” on the back of Szoboszlai’s shirt – the right letters but in the wrong order.
Also spotting the mistake was the Hungarian captain’s former team RB Leipzig, who had some words of comfort for the Reds.
The German club tweeted: “You’ll get the hang of spelling Szoboszlai eventually, trust us.”
But some fans on social media weren’t so forgiving.
One tweeted: “The whole club have disrespected him when in reality it was just one person who’s clearly not qualified to be a kit man.”
Another wrote: “Embarrassing for our kitman lol didn’t take me long to get the hang of spelling his name tbf.”

A third posted: “tears we can’t even afford a decent kitman.”
Yesterday’s game was the 22-year-old’s debut for Jurgen Klopp‘s team alongside new signing Alexis Mac Allister, who went off injured.
It was a decent performance from the Hungarian youngster who played 76 minutes.
But conceding two late goals, including a stunning half-volley from Frans Kraetzig in the dying minutes, meant Liverpool were faced with a 4-3 defeat.
The midfielder joined the Reds from Leipzig for £60million.
Szoboszlai came to Leipzig from sister club Red Bull Salzburg in 2021 and had starred in the Bundesliga, registering 20 goals and 22 assists in 91 appearances.
He has also racked up 32 caps for his country, scoring seven goals.
