Hungary held EURO 2016 champion Portugal for 84 minutes – PHOTOS, VIDEO
Change language:
However, in the last ten minutes, the Hungarian squad suffered a 3-0 defeat from the current European champion, Portugal. We collected some photos about how fans marched to the Puskás Aréna, the venue of today’s match and videos, as well.
In 2016, the two teams played a 3-3 draw in France, and Hungary won its group. Therefore, many thought that at least a draw can be reached with Portugal even today.
Not surprisingly, huge crowds gathered at the Heroes’ Square to march together to the venue of the match, the Ferenc Puskás Aréna in Budapest.
This is how the fans marched to the stadium from the Heroes’ Square today:

Marco Rossi, head coach of the Hungarian national eleven said in a press conference yesterday that “everything is fine in terms of motivation; there would not be a place in the national team for anyone who would have to be
especially motivated for a European championship tournament.”
“The players are very much looking forward to taking part in the tournament and representing Hungary. On the question of whom we should fear in tomorrow’s match, I could list the whole Portuguese team, the whole squad, as we are talking about the reigning European champion and the winner of the Nations League.
Rumor has it that it was in fact the king of Orbananas himself who ordered his squad to lose 3-0, just to as usual follow the same pattern as Erdoğan and Putin….
Let’s hope the 60,000 spectators all tested negative for Covid.
