Sad and painful news woke up Montenegro this morning - the "ever-smiling guy", great athlete, excellent goalkeeper Matija Šarkić died suddenly at the age of 27.

Montenegro, but also the entire sports world, is crying for the guy, who just a few days ago in "his" Brussels in the "falcon" jersey showed what class he is.

In those days, the Madrid "Marka" wrote about the "star Šarkic", a guy who overshadowed the stars of Belgium, and today it said goodbye to him.

"Tragic news came this morning when his Millwall announced he was heartbroken," she wrote Brand.

The saddest possible news is also on the front page "Gazette delo Sport".

Famous journalist Fabricio Romano also said goodbye to Matija.

"Heartbreaking news... My thoughts are with his family," Romano wrote.

The German Bild emphasizes that there is great sadness in Montenegro and England.

"Bitter news from the world of football, not so long ago Šarkić was on the field and was chosen as the player of the match".

RTFB, the state television of Belgium, the country where Matija grew up, recalled his statement he made before the recent match in Brussels.

"I spent ten years in Anderlecht, so this match was anything but ordinary for me," Šarkić said at the time.
