Founded in the year 1945, Red Star Football Club, a bunch of lads with serious footy skills, hails from Serbia. Their home ground is the Stadion Rajko Mitić - not exactly a stroll in the park for the visiting teams, if you catch my drift.
Now, the current lot wearing the Red Star jerseys has an estimated combined worth, or market value if you will, marked around about £73m. A hefty sum that, don’t you think? This pleasant piece of information is shared by Transfermarkt. Mind, they're always fiddling with numbers over there.
Getting on with it, this footballing season has seen our Serbian lads dabbling in not one, not two, but three separate challenges. They've shown considerable flair in the Serbian SuperLiga, placing themselves comfortably at the top of the table. However, the high stakes of the Champions League Qualifiers could only lead them as far as the Play-offs. Their journey in the Europa League too ended at the stage of Knockout Play-offs. But, as they say, there’s always next season.
