As the last of the Slovenian national team players, striker Žan Celar concluded his club season with his team Lugano by falling in the Swiss Cup final, where Servette proved to be an insurmountable obstacle.
The 25-year-old, whose market value increased to 4.5 million euros over the week, played in the final match until the 55th minute and failed to make a significant impact, like the rest of the team, as the match dragged into extra time and a penalty shootout, which Celar’s teammates will want to forget quickly. Lugano players had three match points in the series, which ended with a score of 9:8, but squandered all three and were ultimately punished, finishing the season without a trophy.
Celar is now heading to Brdo pri Kranju, where all other national team players have been diligently preparing since Wednesday, as they have their first preparatory match against the Armenian national team at Stožice on Tuesday.
