............they (RS) will have to go through Champions League qualifiers because Serbia’s coefficient has been damaged enough that there’s no more automatic group stage entry... largely because of how much Red Star themselves have underperformed in the continental stuff these past several years.

Stamenic appeared in 27 of those (Serbian) league games (plus eight more in other comps, including four UCL appearances). One goal in the SuperLiga. One goal in the Champions League. Eight combined yellow cards. He had a couple of stints on the outer but overall he played way more than expected in year one – this being easily his most prominent season as a senior pro. He’s only just getting started.
Up Next: Four more UCL apps and he’ll surpass Wynton Rufer... just sayin’
