Written by Uros Jovicic for Nedeljnik:
"He is Serbian. That helps us understand each other," says Mikhail Ignatov, the captain of Spartak Moscow, about him. "But even if the Russian and Serbian languages aren't that similar, Babic is that kind of player - he understands everything on the pitch before others do." Babic, like many other players in the squad, was part of the team that became world Under-20 champions in New Zealand in 2015. However, it took him years to find stability after that. Following a spell in Spain with Almería, he moved to Russia in a transfer which sparked accusations against his former club for violating sanctions against Russia. Babic has gained recognition and confidence in Russia – now he's vying for a place in the Serbia starting XI this summer.
