Aleksandar Mitrović received an incredible welcome from the Stark Arena during a EuroLeague match in Serbia.
What a lovely moment.
Although, his mate next to him in the yellow looks fuming about it all. 😂🥰 pic.twitter.com/aAyJ7yP17U
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Mitrovic scored twice at the World Cup, even though his side only managed one draw and two defeats in their three games. He is Serbia's all-time top goalscorer with 52 strikes in 79 games.
WHAT NEXT FOR MITROVIC? The striker will no doubt enjoy a short break now but will soon be back in action for Fulham in the Premier League as they play Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.
