(Video) Wijnaldum scores first Dutch goal of Euro 2020 to give Liverpool fans taste of what they’ll miss

Former Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum has opened the scoring for the Netherlands against Ukraine in their Euro 2020 opener.

While Liverpool supporters will get absolutely no pleasure out of reading the word ‘former’ before what follows, the reality now is that Wijnaldum has departed Anfield to embark on a new adventure with Paris Saint-Germain.

Before he can even start thinking about that, though, he needs to focus all of his attention on helping Netherlands have a successful Euro 2020 campaign under the stewardship of Frank de Boer.

By scoring the opening goal in their opening group game – he’s well on his way to achieving that.
