"But now that I’ve had a taste of it, I absolutely want to win the Premier League again because 2025 was just incredible."I’m convinced we can compete (in the Champions League), and I’m hopeful that with the new manager Andoni Iraola we’ll move in the right direction. And then, of course, I dream of playing in the World Cup one day."Szoboszlai celebrates with the Premier League trophy in 2025(Image: Photo by PAUL ELLIS/AFP via Getty Images)Szoboszlai went on to add: "That’s the only way I think — you have to win.
We play in such highly competitive leagues that there’s no room for skills designed merely to entertain the crowd."I know that last year, when we won the Premier League with Liverpool - the toughest league on the planet - our midfield ran the show, and without that, we wouldn't have been champions."But ultimately, who was the superstar of that title win?
