EUROPEAN Champions League • Ferencváros Club • Dynamo Kyiv Football Club • Juventus Football Club • Hungarian League
Back in UEFA Champions League, Ferencvaros Aims to Revive History Back in the Champions League after a 25-year gap, Ferencvros aims to revive its even longer European history while facing Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. There was a time when the Hungarian champion beat Juventus in a European final and its star forward won the Ballon d'Or as the continents best player. When the club last reached a European final eliminating Liverpool on the way in the 1974-75 Cup Winners’ Cup it lost to Dynamo Kyiv, where current Ferencvros coach Serhiy Rebrov is remembered as one its greats. So it is fitting that on Tuesday Ferencvros returns to the Champions League for the first time since 1995, and after four qualifying rounds since mid-August, in a group with Juventus and Dynamo. The adventure starts away to Barcelona for the team from Budapest ranked No. 118 in Europe by UEFA, the lowest of the 32 teams in this seasons competition. We are very, very proud to reach this level, Ferencvros chi
