With a full squad available for the first time in months, Red Star Belgrade enters their Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven with renewed confidence. Unlike previous group stage matches against Inter, Monaco, and Barcelona, the Serbian champions are prepared with a cohesive lineup and no need for last-minute adjustments.
The match marks a significant moment for Red Star, as stability returns to the team. During the Antalya training camp, head coach Vladan Milojević fine-tuned a formation designed for defensive strength and offensive speed. Rising star Andrija Maksimović will start on the bench, while Silas, Mirko Ivanić, and Nemanja Radonjić form the attacking trio, supported by Sheriff Endijae as the central striker.
Radonjić, who impressed against Milan and Stuttgart, will play a crucial role, while Ivanić remains a cornerstone in playmaking. Milojević has emphasized Radonjić’s importance during training sessions, reinforcing his role as a key asset. The same offensive lineup delivered a strong performance against Milan, with Radonjić scoring, offering promise for the PSV match. 
On the defensive side, Omri Glazer returns to goal for the first time since facing Inter. The backline remains unchanged, featuring Mimović, Điga, Spajić, and Seol, the latter rejoining after completing military obligations.
In midfield, Rade Krunić and Timi Maks Elsnik anchor the formation, while Endijae’s high pressing is expected to wear down PSV’s defense before he is substituted by Bruno Duarte or Aleksandar Katai. The strategy focuses on exploiting PSV’s defensive gaps, leveraging Red Star’s pace and precision.
Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1):
Glazer – Mimović, Điga, Spajić, Seol – Elsnik, Krunić – Silas, Ivanić, Radonjić – Endijae.
