Europa League
Weak Budapest ratings leave FC Twente doubting Europa League progress
FC Twente's first Europa League hurdle proved too high on a night in Budapest, as Ferencváros blocked the path to the third round after a 2-2 draw; the post‑match figures show no player rating above 5.5. The update, posted today at 22:38 and again at 23:08, was written by Sander JanssenJournalist for VIDe.
A narrow pass of 5.5 is often handed out, and six Twente players received the "hakken‑over‑de‑sloot" grade for their Budapest showing: Lars Unnerstall, Bart van Rooij, Ruud Nijstad, Daouda Weidmann, Sam Lammers and Wout Weghorst.
The remainder of the class overseen by John van den Brom were given a failing mark, indicating a stark contrast within the squad's assessment.

Additional data points noted in the report include the numbers 46 for Daouda Weidmann and 73 for Lucas Vennegoor of Hesselink, underscoring the detailed grading system applied after the match.
