The world press celebrates the heroic Hungarian national team
Change language:
One day after the Germany vs. Hungary match, it is perhaps safe to say that the Hungarian national squad has become the favourite of everyone who follows this year’s European Championship. After Marco Rossi’s team was drawn into the “death group”, the national team not only did well but took the lead until the 84th minute of the last match. It was then, however, that Goretzka saved Germany.
Hungary already felt that the 1-1 draw against the French was a minor miracle, so the performance against the Germans was the icing on the cake, despite the final result. Index looked at how the most prestigious newspapers and portals reported on the events in Munich on Wednesday night.

Let’s start with the German press. Bild opened with a rather provocative title (“We are through – and no one knows why”) and then mentioned that the German team barely survived another burn (referring to the 2018 World Cup).
Kicker did not praise the Nationalelf either but praised the Hungarian national team instead.
“The Germans were nowhere near the form we saw against the Portuguese, they were clueless against the highly organised opponent. According to the expectations, the Hungarian team finished in the last place of the group.
These are mere facts, which by no means reflect a complete picture of this team.”
