Ryan Gravenberch dropped jaws as he launched a Trent Alexander-Arnold-like delivery for his country, and he couldn’t deny it was the “perfect pass.”

Liverpool’s No. 38 started his second game in a row for the Netherlands on Tuesday evening, for the first time in his career, and he more than lived up to the occasion.

Gravenberch provided an assist with a through ball to Tijjani Reijnders, who finished comfortably for an early 1-0 lead.

However, the viral moment occurred in the 20th minute, when Gravenberch was sprinting away from his goal after the Netherlands cleared a corner and blasted a magnificent first-time pass.

It was Trent-like in its exquisite execution across more than 50 yards, and it should have been his second assist of the game, but Xavi Simons failed to complete the move.

Just look at that pass, unreal:

Gravenberch’s performance oozed confidence, with the most passes into the final third for his team (5), four recoveries, two tackles, and six duels won.

After the game, the 22-year-old was bound to be asked about his magnificent cross-body bass, and he replied, “Oh man, that pass was perfect.

“I saw Xavi Simons running and thought to myself: ‘Okay if it goes well it goes well, if it goes wrong it goes wrong’, it landed perfectly.”

Former Dutch midfielder, Rafael Van der Vaart said post-match of the Liverpool man: “He was the star player.

“When he gave that ball to Xavi Simons, I wanted to go home with that pass, it doesn’t get any better. This is the most difficult ball in football.”
