Dominik Szoboszlai has opened up about the moment that made him break out into tears last year.

It’s been a whirlwind couple of years for Dominik Szoboszlai. Even as a teenager, he was always destined for success.

However, in the past two years or so his stock has really risen and he has become not just an elite footballer known all around the world but one of the most popular faces in his homeland.

Szoboszlai is the Hungarian national team captain. He is still currently unbeaten as captain of his nation after 14 matches, and has led his country to a third consecutive appearance at the European Championships.

In an interview with Hungarian media recently, Szoboszlai has opened up about the moment that made him cry last year.

Dominik Szoboszlai on the moment that made him cry last year

Szoboszlai is not known to be an emotional person. He is very cool, calm and collected on and off the pitch.

Even in hugely emotive moments, he is the person who can be trusted to keep his calm. That’s why he is the captain of his nation, and that’s also why he has been trusted to take crucial penalties both for his country and RB Leipzig.

Even when Neymar taunted him in the Champions League before Szoboszlai took a decisive penalty for RB Leipzig against Paris Saint Germain in the final few minutes of the match, he never succumbed to his jibes.

But even Szoboszlai has an emotional side to him and in an interview with Spiler TV, the Hungarian was asked about his highlight of 2023, and revealed it was the moment in which he led his country to Euro 2024 qualification.

“It was a huge weight off my heart,” Szoboszlai said. “I have never cried with joy in my life, but I did it then.”

Of course, I wasn’t sad when I signed for Liverpool either, so those two moments are the most memorable for me.”

Dominik Szoboszlai is Liverpool’s future

Liverpool have signed a real gem with Dominik Szoboszlai. At 23-years-old, he already has great leadership qualities, and he’s shown his ability on the pitch as well.

This season he has scored seven goals and registered five assists for Liverpool in all competitions. That’s a really good return, and he’s only just getting started.

We haven’t even seen the best of him yet.
