The 31-time champion and 23-time Hungarian Cup winner has confidently passed all stages of qualification and managed to start in the group stage of the Champions League, which is already a major achievement for the team. If in the first round Ferencvaros lost a lot to Barcelona (1:5), then in the second round they managed to get the first points of the tournament, having played in a draw at home with Dynamo Kyiv (2:2). Before the start of the championship, Sergei Rebrov’s charges strengthened the team. Oleksandr Zubkov from Shakhtar (1 million) and Murto Uzuni from Lokomotiv Zagreb (1.8 million) came to the capital’s club. After seven rounds of the current season of the Hungarian Premier League, “Frodi” are unbeaten. Hosts have five victories and two world wins, which brought them 17 points and the first position. In the last round the “green eagles” parted with their main competitor “Fehervar” (1:1). In the infirmary of the owners is Uzuni, who has a coronavirus.
According to results of the last season, Dynamo Kiev won the second place, which brought a ticket to the Champions League qualification. The Kyivans went through this stage very well, getting a victory over AZ (2:0) and Gent on aggregate with a score of 5:1. In the first game of the group stage the “white-blues” could not do anything against Juventus (0:2), but already in the second round they got the first point in the match with Ferencv?ros (2:2). The main transfer of the summer was a contract with the new head coach of the team, namely the Romanian specialist Mircea Lucescu, who made his debut in the team with a victory in the Super Cup of Ukraine over his former club. In the Ukrainian championship the capital club is still in first place. After eight rounds the vice-champion has six victories and two world victories. In the last round the leader outplayed Dnipro-1 (2:1) on the road, as we predicted. Only 19 players of Dynamo arrived in Spain, while 13 players stayed at home due to coronavirus and injuries. On Tuesday evening, the whole team will undergo another test and, in addition, the host side fears infection. Guests are still in relative isolation and it is possible that the match may be postponed. With COVID-19 are goalkeepers Georgy Buschan and Denis Boyko, defenders Vitaly Mikolenko and Alexander Karavaev, midfielders Tudor Belutse, Denis Garmash, Nikolai Shaparenko and Mikel Duelund, as well as forward Georgy Tsitaishvili. Injuries have Vladimir Kostevich, Alexander Tymchik, Nikita Burda. Sergei Sidorchuk is suspended.
