Taking 4 points from Serbia is legendary!

Sylvinho will lead Albania to a 2nd straight top 2 finish in qualifiers!

With their backs against the wall, Albania came up clutch!

Incredible!

URIME NGA PRISHTINA

THIS IS THE BEST NIGHT EVER

This is history

Before the match the narrative was that all the Kosovars were benched on purpose to "make it easy on Serbia". But we saw it was the other way around...

Just like Balaj/Roshi gave Albania a historic win against Portugal now it was the turn of Manaj, Asllani, Shehu, Mitaj, etc..

Shehu is the Albanian Rodri. What class! That's a superliga product btw. And this is all without Muci and Anis Mehmeti. Albania has more than enough talent no matter the narratives.

It was a long time coming for Sugar Ray Manaj!

Not an easy job playing striker for a team that doesn’t create many chances like Albania..

Needed something special to beat Serbia tonight in their backyard!

Manaj delivered!

He always had that in his locker! He showed why he is one of our best players!

Manaj just sent Albania to the playoffs for the 1st time ever!

Couldn’t be happier for him!

Happy for Uzuni too!

Uzuni plays in MLS and is always willing to make the trip for Albania!

He is in great shape and should be starting every match!

What a night!

Shehu is a fantastic addition, leaving Asllani and the other midfielders in the shadow with how calm he's on the ball and the way he reads the game. Albania has had Kukeli and Mitaj as far as I can recall and now Shehu with similar skillset.

Broja's end product is absolutely terrible right now, but no other player in this team has his speed and can bully big defenders at will whenever he feels like giving a f***.

Broja's end product was shit but as soon as he left we had 0 offensive threat on the counterattack apart from Bajrami at the end.

Indeed same as Uzuni's product on the right wing after Broja's replacement. Pavlovic neutralized both. He's probably Serbia's best defender atm and Serie A top 5 defenders for duels won. Althrough Broja is far from his best fit and probably it's more a mental than physical we need him there.

Asllani : "I would like to give my compliments to Juli, this is his 5th or 6th game with the NT but he is really a good player."
