With his head raised but a defeat, Fradi can leave Barcelona

Ad

This is a miracle! In vain, that fantastic heart of Fradi – wrote our newspaper, Nemzeti Sport, on September 14, 1995, after a great surprise in the first match of the Champions League in the history of Ferencváros with a goal from Krisztián Lisztes and a double from Otto Vincze. won at the Grashoppers house. And now, 25 years later, before Tuesday’s game, we could secretly expect the next day’s newspaper to come out with a similar cover this time, while everyone knew that even the FC Barcelona home tie would be a global feat. for days in the international sports press. More so because Barcelona have not been eliminated at home in the BL since 2013, and only Atlético de Madrid, Juventus, Slavia Praha and Tottenham have tied as guests. For Hungarian football, the club’s re-entry into the Champions League after a quarter of a century was a huge weapon. nor could the club president be in the stadium after meeting an infected person the other day. Of course, in the normal case, it is almost certain that Ferencváros would have entered the field in a fantastic atmosphere in front of at least sixty or seventy thousand fans, at the Camp Nou, where the incumbent Fradi could have spoken from the first minute.

Instead, the AC / DC classic Highway To Hell roared as the Ferencváros footballers warmed up on the field half an hour before kick-off and, despite the Congolese stands, it was an uplifting sensation to hear the resounding Champions League anthem. With both teams waiting for the best fan of the league season at the end of the week (the FTC will receive Újpest, Barça will receive Real Madrid), so everyone wondered how the two coaches would shuffle the cards and which starting team would send to the countryside. Well, Ronald Koeman changed four and Serhiy Rebrov changed five places from the starting team from the last game. With the exception of Adnan Kovacevic, the full defense was replaced by Dávid Sigér, with the exception of Adnan Kovacevic, and Miralem Pjanic, hired by Juventus, was able to present FC FC in this match.

The FTC head coach stood in front of the bench from the front until the first second, often trying to cheer the team on with loud applause, especially after Tokmac Nguen (a parade anyway) had not been marked by the referee due to ambush. By the end of the quarter, however, Ronald Koeman was able to walk a little nervous with his hands in his pockets, and the increasingly loud and nervous screams of the local players could be heard, starting to get more tense. They probably didn’t expect Barça to have a prominent position in fifteen minutes. Afterwards, Dénes Dibusz had to do a great feat, the confidence of the Hungarian goalkeeper was felt from the first minute and, as it should be, he led the defense with continuous instructions in the manner of a true leader. But perhaps he did not believe it either when, after Isael’s bomb, the ball bounced off the post and the bar (the shot was so great that it resounded in the almost empty stadium). Tokmac Nguen, who played with a great pass, played with incredible enthusiasm, took his head, and the attack was so gratifying that he was rewarded with applause even in the local VIP hall.

However, the situation in Ferencváros was, unfortunately, an excellent wake-up call for the Hungarians, who connected from now on and shortly after. Lionel messi with their penalty, they also went ahead (1–0). In vain Dibus defended well, at the end of the first half with a parade attack, Ansu Fatinak thanks to which the second goal was also scored at home (2-0), But a characteristic of the FTC is that it did not give up, it kept fighting.

Despite Barcelona’s two goals, the Spanish radio station sitting behind the Hungarian correspondents at the sight of Ferencváros’ brave football, also praised the green and white band, noting that Serhiy Rebrov has a key role in the role of the team in BL. The Ukrainian coach also knows how it feels to score a goal at the Camp Nou, and after the match practically decided at the start of the second half (Coutinho greeted 3-0), He could have expected one of his footballers to know, he scored a goal at Barça’s home. Well with that Ihor Haratin can brag after that (3-1).

Furthermore, the FTC not only knew how to beautify, Gerard Piqué was able to play with a human advantage in the last twenty minutes due to his display. The footballers of the Hungarian team were much more enthusiastic, it was in the air that the final could be tighter, although there were not many chances to score, especially Pedri, then Ousmane Dembele also paid. 5–1

The miracle did not materialize in the end, but Ferencváros was not ashamed for most of the match, and showed on the FC Barcelona field that the four-goal defeat with a brave match is not so shameful, but it is also true that the difference between .
