Cristiano Ronaldo once again showed his class off the pitch after Hungary’s captain, Dominik Szoboszlai, asked to swap shirts with him following their clash.
The RB Leipzig midfielder was eager to collect the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s jersey as a special memento, but to his disappointment, Ronaldo had already given his shirt away to another player.
Ronaldo’s Gesture
Not wanting to leave Szoboszlai empty-handed, the Portuguese legend promised him that he would personally make sure he gets one of his shirts in the coming days. The gesture highlights the mutual respect between the two players, with Ronaldo recognizing Szoboszlai as one of the brightest young midfielders in Europe.
Szoboszlai’s Admiration
At just 24 years old, Szoboszlai has already made his mark as Hungary’s leader and a key figure in the Premier League with Liverpool. After the match, he admitted that swapping with Ronaldo was something he had dreamed about since his childhood.
“It’s always been a dream to play against him. To have his shirt would mean a lot to me,” Szoboszlai reportedly told reporters.
