🕯️ Fatal

Nikola Martan, 31, has died after several months in a coma following an attack in Medulin. Martan, who was in Istria for seasonal work, was beaten so severely that his death now moves the case into a more serious category of prosecution. The national football team suffered its heaviest defeat ever in a 7-0 loss to England. While Spanish media noted that little remains of the team’s former quality, a star player is facing criticism for perceived arrogance and irresponsibility. A third-place finish in the Nations League group is now the expected outcome.
