It doesn’t happen often, but last night saw two AC Milan team-mates become opponents on international duty as Alvaro Morata’s Spain took on Strahinja Pavlovic’s Serbia.
In truth it was a busy night for both players, starting with Morata who took the responsibility of converting a penalty early in the second half but instead put it way over the bar. However, a few minutes later he would redeem himself with a lovely first-time finish to make it 2-0 to the hosts.

Meanwhile, it wasn’t the best of nights for Pavlovic as he went in with a strong challenge in the closing stages of the game, one which was upgraded to a red card after a VAR check with the officials deeming it to be a last-man tackle.

The more I am watching Pavlo the more I am getting convinced that he aint it. Dude is a consistent horror show. Mistakes after Mistakes. Man we should’ve kept Simic.
