Established in the aftermath of the Second World War in 1945, Red Star have carved out a reputation as a steadfast fixture in Serbian football. Their home ground, the rather imposing Stadion Rajko Mitić, lends an element of gravitas to their persona.
When it comes to assessing the worth of the squad, some might opt for heart and spirit. However, in the sometimes cold, sometimes cruel world of football finances, market value determines the pecking order. According to a Transfermarkt analysis, Red Star's players are valued collectively at approximately £68m.
The current season sees Red Star juggle their endeavours across a trifecta of competitions. On home soil in the SuperLiga, they find themselves in a respectable second place. Their continental pursuits have ushered them into the nerve-jangling play-off stage of the Champions League qualifiers. Furthermore, they have also threaded their way into the league phase of the Europa League, proving their mettle on multiple fronts.
