Dominik Szoboszlai: The rise of Liverpool's Hungarian hero

A fan favourite for Liverpool and a potential successor to Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas - Dominik Szoboszlai has had a pretty impressive 2023.

The 23-year-old midfielder once again took the spotlight during Hungary's 3-1 victory over Montenegro in November.

He scored two goals, downed a shot of palinka - a traditional Hungarian fruit brandy - and led the chants from the stands inside Budapest's Puskas Arena after the match.

Szoboszlai has rapidly become Hungary's leading footballer, a rise which has coincided with the national team's resurgence.

Hungary have sealed a third consecutive European Championship appearance after finishing four points clear of Serbia to top their qualifying group.
