Dominik Szoboszlai has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo kept his promise to the Liverpool midfielder by gifting him a shirt following Portugal’s 2-2 draw against Hungary on Tuesday. Szoboszlai had requested the former Manchester United star’s jersey after last month’s World Cup qualifier in Budapest, which Portugal won 3-2.

Speaking after the game, Szoboszlai was asked by Hungarian outlet Nemzeti Sport if Ronaldo had kept his promise, to which Szoboszlai replied: “Yes, there was a shirt swap.” Szoboszlai’s late goal sparked jubilant scenes and keeps Hungary’s faint chances of securing an automatic qualification spot at the World Cup alive.

Szoboszlai has been deployed at right-back, in a deeper midfield role, and in a more advanced no.10 position by Arne Slot.
