The football world's most coveted trophy on display

#9 - Predrag Rajkovic:

Chelsea FC v Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC - UEFA Champions League
Rajkovic vs Chelsea - UEFA Champions League

Serbia shocked everyone when they were crowned world champions back in 2015, at the under-20 level.

This achievement would have been out of imagination, if it was not for the brilliance of Predrag Rajkovic.

The shot-stopper was phenomenal against Brazil in the final, denying them the trophy on several occasions.

The level he showed in that game, was similar to the one he had displayed throughout the whole tournament.

Playing his trade for Israeli giants - Maccabi Tel Aviv FC, the 21-year old has already featured 6 times for his national team, including an impressive performance in the 3-0 victory against Moldova in a recent World Cup qualifier.

With Rajkovic improving day-by-day, and with Vladimir Stojkovic not getting any younger, it would hardly be a surprise that the rising goalkeeper permanently displaces the 34-year old out of the starting lineup, by June.
