Liverpool midfielder Szoboszlai 'playing like Messi at his best'

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has been compared to Lionel Messi this week.

The Hungarian was outstanding for his nation as they qualified for Euro 2024.

Hungary were inspired by Szoboszlai as they beat Montenegro by a comfortable 3-1 margin.

"You have the same feeling about him as when Lionel Messi was at his best in Barcelona a few years ago," Hungary goalkeeper Denes Dibusz told Hungarian outlet Index.

“When he made up his mind, he went down the field and scored.

"He is a player of an incredible level and a great leader, who is able to lead the team on the field and add something extra to his game that draws the others along, and is also effective.

“After the Bulgaria match, I think he was also a little frustrated that despite his chances, he didn't manage to score. I think you can be satisfied with your finishes and performance today"
