“I HAVE OFFICIALLY RETURNED THE MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD TO HIM!” Dominik Szoboszlai stuns fans after Liverpool’s 1-0 win against Inter Milan, insisting that although he scored the winning goal, one teammate deserves all the glory. Szoboszlai revealed that the fans might have voted for the wrong player after an astonishing display from his Liverpool colleague who earned a perfect 10/10 rating tonight.
In a post-match statement that has already gone viral, Szoboszlai admitted he was humbled to receive the Man of the Match award, but he immediately handed it back to the player who, in his words, “carried the team when everyone else faded.” Fans watching at the San Siro could barely believe the selflessness of the Austrian midfielder, whose winning strike in the 88th minute sealed Liverpool’s crucial Champions League victory.
According to Szoboszlai, the real hero dominated the game in every sense — breaking up Inter attacks, driving forward with relentless energy, and making key interventions that prevented the Reds from falling behind. “I scored the goal, but he was the one controlling the game from start to finish. Without him, tonight would have been a nightmare,” Szoboszlai said, praising his teammate’s influence and leadership on the pitch.
Liverpool fans and pundits are now debating who truly deserved the award. Many argue that this acknowledgment from Szoboszlai proves the player’s performance was nothing short of extraordinary, and that his impact was far more decisive than a single goal can reflect. The teammate’s flawless 10/10 rating, combined with Szoboszlai’s public gesture, has sparked a massive wave of admiration across social media, with fans hailing him as the real driving force behind Liverpool’s victory.
This moment also highlights the team’s resilience and the importance of unsung heroes in high-stakes matches. While goals win games, performances like these — where one player lifts the entire squad — are what define Champions League nights. Szoboszlai’s humble act of returning the award is now being celebrated as one of the most generous gestures in football this season, reminding everyone that sometimes, the spotlight belongs to the player who quietly changes the game from start to finish.
Liverpool may have left Italy with three points, but tonight’s story is about recognition, respect, and the teammate who truly saved the night. Fans will remember this display for a long time, and Szoboszlai’s honesty has only amplified the legend of the real hero on the field.
