Serbia goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic ‘was involved in physical bar fight with a fan just days before Euro 2024 decider against Denmark’

Serbia goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic reportedly had a fight with a fan in a bar days before his side’s crucial Euro 2024 decider.

The Serbs crashed out of of the tournament on Tuesday after a 0-0 draw with Denmark, that left them bottom of Group C.

Milinkovic-Savic was the No 2 keeper for the tournament and did not feature in any of their three matches.

And it appears the Torino stopper may not have been quite as focused as his team-mates. 

Serbian newspaper Telegraf claim Milinkovic-Savic was seen in a bar in Munich on a a free day ahead of Tuesday’s pivotal clash with Denmark.

The report states that a fan saw him drinking and confronted him over what he was doing with such an important game on the horizon.

It is alleged that Milinkovic-Savic swore at the man before throwing a punch, causing bar staff to step in and split them up.

The bar owner told Telegraf: ‘Vanja came to our bar, but the security at the entrance didn’t recognise him and they didn’t want to let him in because he was wearing the national team shorts, which made him angry and there was a fight.

Milinkovic-Savic was an unused substitute in all three matches as Serbia crashed out 

‘I soon intervened, I grabbed his hand and told him to come in with me, but he refused. Everything happened in the bar’s garden.

‘I didn’t hear what they said at him and what they said to each other. I’m glad that in the end we resolved everything.’
