Ryan Gravenberch had plenty to smile about after the Netherlands drew 2-2 with Germany in the Nations League.
He assisted his country’s first goal which came in the second minute of play in the first half.
The Liverpool midfielder almost set up another one with an insane pass – one that left manager Rafael van der Vaart speechless.
Van der Vaart exclaimed: “That pass by Ryan Gravenberch… I actually wanted to go home after he gave that pass because it ain’t going to get any more beautiful than that.”
The pass in question was masterful through ball that split the German defense and set up Xavi Simons. He, however, failed to convert.
The Liverpool midfielder had earlier provided Tijani Reijnders with an assist for the game’s opener.
Nevertheless, he remained upbeat in the post-match interview: “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!”
