The Ludogorets Sentinel
Match1 Oct 2026
Ludogorets do the business in Europe
2‑0. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Ludogorets came through the finding-out well against OH Leuven.
Match5 Oct 2026
Ludogorets are top
22 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.
Match4 Oct 2026
Still nobody has beaten Ludogorets
The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Nathan Fernandes was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Olivier Verdon pops up at the right end — 7.67
7.67, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
Match4 Oct 2026
After 9 games, Ludogorets finally taste it again
The first defeat in 9 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against CSKA 1948; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Filip Kaloč raises the bar for Ludogorets
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Ludogorets heard it as anything else.
Squad5 Oct 2026
A falling-out at Ludogorets
Olivier Verdon and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Kwadwo Duah reaches 50 goals
50 goals for the club, every one of them filed away in the memory of a supporter somewhere.
In brief
- Player ratings A masterclass from Petar Stanić
- Player ratings Ninety minutes of Joel Andersson at his very best
- Match Ludogorets refuse to lose to CSKA 1948
