Although the 2020 European Championship qualifiers between the national teams of Serbia and Lithuania held in Belgrade reminded of a training match, one of the Serbian goals attracted attention in the global media. No surprise that all eyes were on Real Madrid newcomer Luka Jovic during the match. The 21-year-old Serbian missed two golden opportunities to score in the first half-hour, but in the 35th minute, he made up for his mistake with a fantastic strike. This goal spread massively on social media, especially on Twitter. One of the first fans of Real Madrid to upload the video received almost 12,000 "love" clicks. The Goal portal account also shared this video and wrote: "Luka Jovic just did this for Serbia. Excited, Real Madrid fans?" In turn, the British media giant Sky Sports wrote after the video: "Real Madrid fans, are you looking forward to seeing more similar episodes from Jovic?" After the match against Lithuania, L. Jovic immediately returned to Madrid. On Wednesday, he will be presented at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The young forward scored one of the four goals against the Lithuanian national team. Aleksandar Mitrovic added two more goals and Adem Ljajic one.
Luka Jovic just scored this beautiful goal for Serbia. However, the goal isn’t even the most impressive part. Watching him closely all season his positioning is the closest I have seen to Ronaldo’s. Madrid know exactly what they’re doing by signing him. pic.twitter.com/h9Y0tyLRBI
