All eyes were on Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as he stepped out at the Kaliningrad Arena to face Switzerland on the back of an inspiring performance for Serbia against Costa Rica in their opening game of the competition. The Lazio midfielder has been attracting a lot of interest from some of the top clubs in Europe including the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United, to name a few, due to his performances at club level this season.

Nevertheless, he struggled to find his rhythm on the night and was provided with very little time on the ball due to the constant pressure forced on him by Valon Behrami and Xhaka, who put in a sublime shift at the middle of the park for Petkovic's side on the night.

Milinkovic-Savic was also one among the four Serbian players booked on the night and the 23-year-old flattered to deceive on his potential 'big money move' audition to at least one of Europe's heavyweight clubs, who were keeping tabs on him for quite a while now.
