Man of the Moment
Ferencvaros are banking on Ryan Mmaee to bring his A-game to the table as he has in recent matches in which he claimed 2 goals in 6 outings. Kyogo Furuhashi arrives at the Euro 2020 very keen to continue the momentum he has build up in his last 6 internationals for Celtic. Scoring 3 goals in half a dozen matches is a decent output.
