Despite a strong performance that included three goals from Hungarian player Viktória Vámos, Győr fell short in the Champions League final, losing to Metz by two goals. Vámos played a significant role in the match, particularly in the second half.
Following the game, Metz coach Emmanuel Mayonnade specifically commended Vámos for her defensive efforts. He highlighted her importance in the team's second-half strategy, noting that she was a key element in their defensive plays. Mayonnade mentioned that the plan was for Vámos to start as a substitute, but she entered the game earlier than anticipated, similar to their previous match against CSM Bucuresti.
The 25-year-old Vámos's introduction to the game injected more dynamism into Metz's offense, especially in their six-on-five attack situations. The victory was celebrated by the Metz team, which included two Hungarian players, Vámos and Anikó Kovács.
Vámos was a very important element in defense in the second half.
