Tribute to Puskas in Budapest

The St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Budapest hosted an emotional tribute to Puskas in the hours leading up to the preseason match between Real Madrid and Ferencvaros. José Ángel Sánchez and Roberto Carlos represented our club at the event organized by the Ferenc Puskas Football Academy, during which a floral offering was made at the site where the madridista legend is buried. Also in attendance were Balázs Tóth, CEO of the Academy; Pál Orosz, CEO of Ferencvaros; and László Juhász, Vice President of the Hungarian Football Federation.

Puskas played for Real Madrid between 1958 and 1966, where he became one of the best forwards in the history of our club and world football. The Hungarian player formed a dream attacking line alongside Di Stéfano, Kopa, Rial, and Gento. He was part of one of the most successful eras of Real Madrid, winning 3 European Cups, 1 Intercontinental Cup, 5 LaLiga titles, and 1 Copa del Rey. Additionally, he scored 242 goals in 262 matches as a madridista.
