Kenan Bajrić realises his dream, but his Champions League debut was certainly not a dream come true: Slovan suffered a heavy defeat in Scotland

For realizing childhood dreams, it’s never too late. Kenan Bajrić will celebrate his 30th birthday in December, but a few months before that, he played in a competition he probably never imagined he would experience up close. The former player of Olimpija heard the anthem of the elite Champions League live for the first time, but the opening match for Slovan did not end according to the wishes of either Kenan Bajrić or the club from Bratislava.
Celtic proved to be a too strong opponent for the Slovak champions in Glasgow, with the green-and-whites celebrating a high victory of 5:1. It could have ended even worse for Slovan, as the guest goalkeeper Dominik Takač recorded seven saves.
Kenan Bajrić, who was recently recalled to the Slovenian national team by coach Matjaž Kek, started the match in the starting lineup for Slovan and remained on the field until the end of the game. He did not shine, and with the exception of the remarkable goalkeeper, there was no standout player in the Slovan jersey. It is worth noting that the only goal for Slovan was scored by Marko Tolić, a former player of Maribor and this year’s failed summer reinforcement for Celje.
Thursday is completely Slovenian-themed
Additionally, Thursday will be even more Slovenian-themed in the Champions League. At 18:45, Timi Max Elšnik and Vanja Drkušić will go into battle against Benfica with Crvena zvezda, while at 21:00, Jan Oblak (Atletico) and Benjamin Šeško (RB Leipzig) will face off in Madrid. Additionally, Sturm will visit Brest, with Tomi Horvat, Jon Gorenc Stanković, and young Arjan Malić playing for the Austrian side.
