Red Star Belgrade is a successful football club in the former Yugoslavia and has won the league 33 times. He also won the Champions League once, being the last team in Eastern Europe to win the Champions League. Because of its inextricable relationship with Chinese football, it is well known by Chinese fans.
Red Star has historically produced countless stars for Yugoslavia. These include former national football coach Dujkovic, former AC Milan star Savičević, former Inter Milan star Stankovic, and Stojkovic, known as the best player in the former Yugoslavia. However, with the intervention of capital in the process of football professionalization, clubs in small and medium-sized leagues are becoming increasingly uncompetitive.
In the 2018/19 Champions League group stage, Red Star Belgrade was eliminated from the bottom of the group with 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses. But the only victory was won over that year's Champions League winner Liverpool.
In this year's Champions League qualifying round, Red Star Belgrade first eliminated Armenia's Yerevan Phoenix with a 7-0 score of two legs. But in the qualifying play-offs, red star Belgrade, although it only lost one goal, was extremely angry. Red Star led 2:1 in the first leg, was overturned by Maccabi Haifa in the second half and lost the match 2:3. In the second leg, Red Star Belgrade quickly led by a 2-0 lead, only to be forced to draw 2-2 by two consecutive goals, and the last goal was the 89th minute. In the end, he was eliminated by an aggregate score of 4:5.
Now that Serbia's economy is in a slump, the Champions League group stage could have given Red Star at least 10 million euros in prize money, which was undoubtedly worse for Red Star after losing the game.
