Since the beginning of the season, Crvena Zvezda has played two games in the group stage of the Champions League, but already at this moment it can boast of the fact that two players of our team are statistically at the very top of the best European club competition.
Osman Bukari excelled in the duels against Manchester City and Young Boys, which is also indicated by the fact that he entered the scorers' list in both matches. In addition to an effective goal, the fast-footed winger also recorded an assist in the game against Young Boys, when he brilliantly worked Endiaje for the red and white's leading goal. The representative of Ghana created great problems for the opposing players, considering that in both matches he showed incredible speed, concreteness in the game, as well as football quality, which especially came to the fore towards the end of the match against the Swiss team. Naime Bukari scored a goal in the 88th minute from an extremely difficult position and once again confirmed that he is an indispensable screw in the Crvena zvezda team.
At the end of the match with Young Boys, the player of the match award deservedly went to Osman Bukari, and just one day later, another recognition came to the address of our team's footballer, who was in the Champions League round team. Also, an interesting fact is that Zvezda's winger is currently among the top five scorers of the Champions League so far. Only Heilund from Manchester United and Alvarez from Manchester City are ahead of him with three goals each.
In addition to Osman Bukari, our team's goalkeeper - Omri Glazer, also showed phenomenal performances in the duels in Manchester and Belgrade. After the first round of the most prestigious European competition, the Israeli representative set a new record for the number of saves in one Champions League match with 13 successful interventions. Although the red-and-white goalkeeper did not have much to do against the Young Boys, as he did against the English team, he intervened fantastically four times, and can boast of the fact that with 17 saves, he is in first place, and at the same time among the five best goalkeepers, when it comes to successful saves. stopped shots, in the previous part of the Champions League. The second position is taken by Oblak with 13 interventions, followed by Raćopi with 11, Samba with 10 and Riznik with 9 successfully saved shots.
