Sergej Milinković-Savić

Sergej Milinković-Savić is a Serbian midfielder who plays for Al Hilal. The Football Association of Serbia lists him at 186 centimetres, with 56 senior international appearances and nine goals. In 2026, the association gave him a Golden Ball award after he passed 50 appearances.

He can receive the ball under pressure, protect it and continue an attack with a pass or a forward movement. His height helps in aerial contests, but his midfield work also depends on timing. Arriving too early can close a teammate's space, while arriving later can exploit an area left by a defender.

For Serbia, Milinković-Savić may play deeper while the team builds an attack or move closer to the forwards when another player is needed near the penalty area. These roles should not be judged by the same statistic. The deeper role values safe progress, while the advanced role creates more direct chances to score or assist.

The FSS record includes only senior national-team matches. Club games for Al Hilal are recorded separately. Keeping those records apart prevents competitions from being mixed and shows his continued role under several national-team coaches.
