Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai earned praise from former teammates on social media after a stellar performance in Hungary’s Euro 2024 qualifiers on Sunday (November 19), securing their spot in the tournament. In a crucial match in Budapest, Hungary fought back after conceding the lead to Montenegro’s Slobodan Rubezic. Szoboszlai ignited the comeback with a splendid equalizer in the second half. Two minutes later, he headed Hungary in front, and a stoppage-time strike from Adam Nagy sealed the victory. With this win, Szoboszlai and his teammates secured the top spot in their qualifying group.
Sharing a celebratory picture on social media, Szoboszlai captioned it with a confident statement: “This is just the beginning.” Moanes Dabbur, a former RB Leipzig teammate, responded with an impressed “wow,” while Noah Ohio, currently with Standard Liege, praised Szoboszlai as “What a player.”
Since joining Liverpool in January for a £60 million deal, Szoboszlai has made a significant impact, contributing two goals and two assists in 17 games across competitions. This has propelled Jurgen Klopp’s side to within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City after 12 games.
