Hungary Today 2024.07.19.

According to Kicker, Germany’s leading sports magazine, only two of the Hungarian goalkeeper’s ‘colleagues’ performed better than Gulácsi in the previous season, putting him in the international class category, reports Csakfoci.hu.

Every six months, Kicker ranks the best players in the Bundesliga, divided into different categories. This summer, the renowned magazine started with goalkeepers, and its list includes a Hungarian player, as shown in a review on bulinews.com.

Péter Gulácsi was named the third best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga, putting him in the international class category, where he was only beaten by Gregor Kobel (Dortmund) and Lukas Hradecky (Leverkusen), while Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) finished behind him.

In the national class category, Oliver Baumann (Hoffenheim), Kevin Müller (Heidenheim), Michael Zetterer (Werder Bremen), Alexander Nübel (Stuttgart) and Frederik Rønnow (Union Berlin) are all included. However, none of them were rated as world class by Kicker, which took the second half of the 2023/24 season into account in its current compilation.

Fact

The 34-year-old Gulácsi has been with RB Leipzig since 2015, has played 302 matches (27,146 minutes in total), and is a two-time German Cup (DFB-Pokal) winner (2022, 2023). According to the club’s statistics, he has successfully saved all shots in 95 of his matches. As Hungary Today reported, the national football team player extended his contract with his club in May until the end of June 2026. RB Leipzig finished fourth in the Bundesliga this season and will compete in the UEFA Champions League next season.
