Hungarian Goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi receives recognition from top German football magazine
Hungarian goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi showcased an exceptional performance against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the second round of the Bundesliga, earning praise from both Hungarian Nation and the prestigious German magazine Kicker. RB Leipzig managed to overturn a 2-1 deficit to secure a 3-2 victory, handing defending champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen their first defeat in 35 Bundesliga matches.
Gulácsi made a total of eight saves during the game, demonstrating his skill and talent on the field. Kicker awarded him a rating of 1.5, placing him among the exceptional players of the matchday. This recognition adds to Gulácsi’s remarkable track record, as he has now gone 16 Bundesliga matches undefeated, with 12 wins and 4 draws to his name.
The Hungarian goalkeeper’s last Bundesliga defeat dates back to September 17, 2022, before he suffered a knee injury in a UEFA Champions League match. Since his return to the starting line-up on February 4, 2024, Gulácsi has been an instrumental figure in RB Leipzig’s unbeaten streak in the league.
Looking ahead, Gulácsi will be gearing up for the new season of the UEFA Nations League with the Hungarian national team. As preparations kick off, he will face competition from goalkeepers Dénes Dibusz and Balázs Tóth for a spot in the starting lineup. The national team is set to face Germany on Saturday, September 7, followed by a match against Bosnia on Tuesday, September 10.
Gulácsi’s consistent and impressive performances continue to highlight his importance both for RB Leipzig and the Hungarian national team, earning him recognition as one of the standout goalkeepers in European football.
