Serbia goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic was reportedly involved in a bar fight with a fan just days before his side were knocked out of Euro 2024. They crashed out of the tournament on Tuesday following a goalless draw with Denmark, which saw them finish bottom of Group C on two points.

Milinkovic-Savic was said to have been involved in a physical altercation at a Munich bar ahead of Serbia's decisive clash with Denmark. It all started when a fan saw him drinking and asked him what he was doing on the eve of such an important game, according to Serbian outlet Telegraf.

It is alleged that Milinkovic-Savic, who was reportedly wearing his team's kit, swore at the fan before throwing a punch. The scuffle was quickly broken up by security staff, with the owner of the bar said to have been involved in diffusing the situation.

Express Sport have contacted the Serbian Football Association for comment.

The owner of the bar, who wished to remain anonymous, told Telegraf: "Vanja came to our cafe but the security at the entrance did not recognise him and they did not want to let him in because he was wearing national team shorts, which made him angry and there was a fight.

"I soon intervened. I grabbed his hand and told him to come in with me, but he refused. Everything happened in the garden of the restaurant. I did not hear what they threw at him and what they said to each other. I'm glad that in the end we solved everything."

Serbia boss Dragan Stojkovic made a cryptic statement about fighting in training and drunkenness in bars after returning to Belgrade earlier this week. However, he went on to insist that he was not referring to any actions of his players, who he said he was proud of in spite of their early exit.

Asked if his team's performance in Germany was a debacle, Stojkovic replied: "Debacles are when someone beats you 7-0, when you get drunk around Augsburg and Munich, when you fight in training. These are things where we need to look at where it's burning. Nobody did that. I'm proud of the guys for that."

Milinkovic-Savic was Serbia's back-up goalkeeper at the Euros and did not feature in any of their group stage matches. He plays for Torino at club level and kept 18 clean sheets for the Italian side last season as they secured a ninth-placed finish in Serie A.
