The Crowd as a Key Player

Former Red Star player Boško Đurovski told the club's official website that he believes the current squad can repeat the historic comeback from 1980, when Zvezda, after a 1-0 away loss to Basel, triumphed 2-0 in the return leg at Marakana.

"I was young, and that was my first international match. When I came out of the tunnel, I felt Marakana trembling. That roar from all sides gives you special energy and strength; you feel like you can't fall," Đurovski recalled the atmosphere that carried the players to a comeback back then.

A Call to Fans and a Message to the Team

Đurovski particularly emphasized the importance of support from the stands and called on fans to be the twelfth man. "The first thing is for true Zvezda supporters to come and back us. We are the better team, but we must be cautious and fully focused," the former player urged.

He also touched on the wealth of talent at Dejan Stanković's disposal. "We have so many good players that Dejan Stanković is spoilt for choice in building a solid, standard team. Let the fans cheer and support us. True fans are those who back the team even in tough moments during the match," Đurovski added.

The return clash at Belgrade's Marakana decides who takes a step closer to the Champions League, and the atmosphere and historical comparisons add extra weight to Tuesday's anticipation.
