Some Southampton fans have taken to Twitter to react in the aftermath of Dusan Tadic’s nomination for the Ballon d’Or award.
The 65-cap Serbia international was nominated for the prestigious award after a stunning 2018/19 campaign with Ajax, in which he scored 38 goals and registered 24 assists as the Dutch side made it to the Champions League semi-finals – they were just seconds away from making the final in Madrid.
Along with the 30-year-old, two more former Southampton players in Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane found themselves nominated after winning Europe’s elite competition with Liverpool.
Tadic played for the Saints from 2014 to 2018 after arriving from FC Twente, scoring 24 goals while recording 35 assists in 162 appearances for the south coast side, before departing for Amsterdam in a £10m deal.
