‘It’s about the heart’: Serbia fans in London stay

The guests at The Corner Terrace restaurant in Ealing were not too disheartened despite a 1-0 defeat against England

As Dragan Stojkovic’s side kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign, members of west London’s sizeable Serbian community watched on with hope but also real expectation that a potential shock was on the cards.

At The Corner Terrace restaurant on Ealing Common, enthusiastic locals gathered to have traditional delicacies such as pljeskavica and gibanica, and to take in the second match of group C after Denmark’s draw with Slovenia. Jumping out of their seats frequently during the extended spells of Serbia possession, every momentum shift felt like a collective shot on target.
