It is no exaggeration to say that the Hungarian national football team achieved another world-famous success after beating the German national team 1-0 in Leipzig on Friday with the goal of Ádám Szalai, who announced his retirement this week, in the fifth round of the Nations League A division.
The success also means that Marco Rossi's team will definitely remain at the top of the series, and that we will definitely be the first hat-tricks in the draw for the European Championship qualifiers. And on Monday, the match against the Italians can come at home, in the Puskás Arena, where even a draw would qualify for group first place and the quarterfinals.
If we wanted to briefly summarize the most important moments of another fantastic Hungarian success, it would be enough to write that
before the last round, the Hungarian national team still leads the group of death of the A division,
staying in is already certain, Ádám Szalai, who announced his retirement, scored a miracle goal, and in addition, he surpassed Ferenc Puskás with his 85th international cap. Marco Rossi inaugurated a newcomer in the person of Milos Kerkez and it became clear again that the Hungarian fans have no equal in the world.

"We will have more areas to play against the Italians, we are really looking forward to Monday's game. It would be a wonderful thing to fight for the first place at home," said Ádám Nagy, the midfielder of the Hungarian national team.
"It would be nice to play at home, but you shouldn't play for it. Immediately after the match, we talked about this, that this should not be done, because if they score a goal, they can win with it. We have to try to get the lead, and then maybe in the 85th minute it won't be so urgent for us. Because if we score, we are still the first.
We enter the field wanting to win," said Ádám Nagy, who added that it would be a huge achievement if Ádám Szalai performed a miracle in his last match.
Afterwards, you could celebrate with the fans. About the fans, he said that he was very happy that there were many Hungarian fans in the whole stadium, the atmosphere was fantastic.
Viktor Orbán commented on the result in his Facebook post.
