"Boniface is an outstanding striker," Nordmann emphasized. 

He also highlighted other key Leverkusen players, including Wirtz, Xhaka, Frimpong, Grimaldo, and Tah, who could potentially cause problems for Liverpool.

Nordmann praised Wirtz as the "X factor" who elevates the team's performance. He also lauded Xhaka as the "absolute boss in midfield," making it challenging for opponents. 

Additionally, he noted Frimpong's exceptional speed and Grimaldo's technical prowess.
