A physically dominant Serbian striker whose relentless aerial power and passionate play have made him a national team icon.
Aleksandar Mitrović is a throwback number nine, a striker who thrives on chaos in the penalty area. His game is built on brute strength, an uncanny ability to win headers, and a predator's instinct for goal. After emerging as a prolific scorer in Serbia, his move to English football with Newcastle United was turbulent, but he found his true home at Fulham. There, he became a folk hero, powering the club to promotion with record-breaking goal hauls in the Championship. For the Serbian national team, nicknamed 'Mitro,' he is more than a player; he is a symbol of fighting spirit and the country's all-time leading scorer. His style is unapologetically direct, a constant physical challenge for defenders and a focal point for every team he leads.
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Aleksandar was born in 1994, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
