Bristol was always in the running after two impressive performances in the group stages but his early free-kick in the final which opened the scoring propelled him into pole position and his neat play in midfield was clearly key to every positive movement Real made. Giannitsanis went into the final matchday on three goals but failed to add to his tally - his luck was that none of his rivals one goal behind him scored either! Hernádi was a clear choice for best goalkeeper after near-faultless performances in all three of Honvéd's match in the competition.
