During Hungary’s Euro 2024 match against Scotland, Barnabas Varga suffered a severe injury following a collision with Scotland’s goalkeeper Angus Gunn and teammate Anthony Ralston.

After a lengthy treatment on the field, Varga was stretchered off, shielded from view by privacy sheets.

Despite the unsettling event, Hungary secured a 1-0 victory, dedicating the win to Varga. The team’s unity and determination were evident as they played on, visibly affected by their teammate’s condition. The Hungarian Football Federation later confirmed Varga’s stable condition but acknowledged he would not return for the rest of the tournament.

Coach Marco Rossi expressed relief over Varga’s stable condition, emphasizing the player’s health over competitive concerns.
