Quiet in loss Gravenberch recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout loss versus Morocco.

Impact Gravenberch was not too active outside of his defensive work on Monday, as the midfielder was constantly marked or challenged immediately after receiving the ball with only two true midfielders in the formation. He would record two shots and an interception, with his day easy explained after only completing 18 passes in the middle. The Liverpool player ended the 2026 World Cup with two assists on two chances created, starting in all four games in the middle for the Netherlands.

Workmanlike showing versus Tunisia Gravenberch registered two shots (zero on goal), two interceptions and one cross (zero accurate) and recorded one tackle (zero won) in Thursday's 3-1 victory against Tunisia.

Impact Gravenberch played in a supportive role next to Frenkie de Jong and Tijjani Reijnders, putting together a well-rounded stat line despite not being particularly flashy or shining in any particular area. He has started in every game, putting up at least one cross in all of them, totaling four (one accurate) and registering two shots (zero on target), four tackles (one won) and five interceptions over that span.

Key presence in midfield Gravenberch generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 5-1 victory against Sweden.

Impact Gravenberch delivered another commanding box-to-box display in Saturday's 5-1 win over Sweden, registering three interceptions, one cross and one shot from his central midfield role as the Netherlands dominated the game across 90 minutes with 48 percent possession but clinical efficiency on the counter. The Liverpool midfielder was the defensive spine of the Dutch midfield, breaking up Swedish attacks before they developed and immediately transitioning into forward movements that stretched Sweden's backline, completing 26 passes and covering more ground than any other Dutch player. Having produced two assists in the Japan draw and another commanding performance against Sweden, Gravenberch heads into the knockout rounds as arguably one of the tournament's standout midfielders, combining defensive awareness with progressive ball-carrying to give the Netherlands a player capable of dominating games at the highest level.

Delivers two assists Gravenberch assisted twice to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Japan.

Impact Gravenberch was the standout performer in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Japan, delivering the assist for both Dutch goals, first finding Virgil van Dijk arriving at the back post for the opening goal in the second half, then slipping Crysencio Summerville in behind the Japanese backline moments after Japan had leveled, while also registering two crosses, two chances created and a commanding presence across all three phases of the game. The Liverpool midfielder covered every blade of grass in a box-to-box role that saw him dominate the midfield battle, breaking up Japanese transitions and immediately releasing teammates with quality passes in tight spaces throughout his 81 minutes before being replaced by Nathan Ake.

6 Problems New Liverpool Manager Andoni Iraola Must Solve

Set for standout World Cup Gravenberch has been named in Ronald Koeman's squad for the 2026 World Cup, set to play a key role in the Netherlands' midfield.

Impact Gravenberch delivered his most complete season to date with Liverpool FC, contributing six goals and six assists alongside an impressive 76 tackles and 74 interceptions across 50 appearances, including 47 starts in all competitions. The numbers mark a clear step forward from previous campaigns, with the Dutch midfielder establishing himself as one of the most well-rounded box-to-box options in the Premier League and showcasing the defensive solidity and attacking output long expected since his arrival at the club. His ability to cover ground, win the ball back and transition quickly into attack makes him one of the most complete midfield profiles in coach Ronald Koeman's squad. At international level, Gravenberch is part of what is shaping up to be one of the most balanced and talented midfield trios at the tournament alongside Frenkie de Jong and Tijjani Reijnders. His box-to-box energy and defensive output provide the engine room with the intensity and work rate needed to complement the more technical profiles around him. A full season of consistent starts at Liverpool has given him the confidence and rhythm to perform at his best when it matters most, making him one of the more reliable midfield options the Netherlands will rely on this summer.

Scores curler Gravenberch scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Chelsea.

Impact Gravenberch scored a brilliant goal from the edge of the box, turning and curling beautifully into the top corner. It was an incredible goal from the holding midfielder, who doesn't tend to be a major offensive threat. In the end the goal wasn't enough for the win and Gravenberch was left disappointing with another awful showing from the team.
