Igor Matanović scored a wonderful Euro-volley from outside the box Thursday as Freiburg defeated Celta Vigo 6-1 (agg.) to book their ticket to the Europa League semifinals! The goal was initially ruled offside by the assistant referee, however, after VAR was deemed a good goal. Freiburg will face either Real Betis or Braga in the semifinal round.
Matanović now has 3G/1A in 12 Europa League matches this campaign.
For my fellow Aussies, you can see the goal here:

On Twitter mentions Sven Sunta might be eligible for Croatia (he transferred to Croatia in 2020/2021 season)
Any thoughts on his potential for those who have watched him?
Yes I know he’s only had a handful of minutes with Dinamo 1st team so far

9 – Freiburgs Igor Matanovic schoss neun Pflichtspieltore im Jahr 2026, nur drei Bundesliga-Spieler noch mehr: Luis Díaz (11), Deniz Undav (13) und Harry Kane (20). I9or.
Igor is 4th in Bundesliga forwards in 2026 in goals scored w 9.
Igor ears must have been burning.
Just when people were talking about Dion, taking the place of Igor on the NT, he lets go of a top five quality highlight of his career
Does get much prettier than that. Awesome assist.
Apparently i will never see this goal lmao. I can’t view this one either and Anon’s got deleted. Also can’t find it anywhere on YT or anything. Guess that’s copyright for you. Maybe someone can draw a stick figure animation of it so some of us can have the good fortune to at least get the “idea” of it.
One of the things i hate about modern copyright holders tbh.
