DUSAN VLAHOVIC hit back at reports he had an affair with a team-mate’s wife by grabbing his NUTS after scoring for Serbia.
Stories had been circulating suggesting Vlahovic was being left out of the Serbia starting XI due to having an affair with Ana Cakic, the wife of reserve goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic.
And after strongly denying the claims, Vlahovic then made a mockery of them by squeezing his privates in celebration after scoring his nation’s second against Switzerland in his first start in Qatar.
The Juventus striker’s brilliant snapshot nestled into the bottom corner to give his side the lead.
Vlahovic has denied the affair claims and slammed his accusers, suggesting they are acting out of spite while speaking at a press conference ahead of the crunch Group G finale.
He said: “I am sorry to have to start the press conference in the World Cup this way, but I have to talk about it because this is my name being bandied about.

“What we all read and hear about, there’s no need to comment on something so absurd.
“Evidently these people are bored and have nothing better to do because they are frustrated or angry, but working against the national interest of the team at the moment is obviously their main job right now.
“We are more united than ever and the atmosphere in the squad has never been better. These stories are ridiculous, I just want to protect my name and my integrity, so I will take legal action if necessary.
“It’s not the first time this has happened, I would’ve hoped that people would support the team before such an important match, but instead we are forced to talk about things that have nothing to do with it.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
“These are people with empty CVs who achieved nothing, but they will certainly not get extra attention off my name. They have always been small people and prove it day by day.”
Serbia has never progressed into the knockout rounds of the World Cup but had a chance to do so tonight if they beat Switzerland and if Cameroon failed to beat Brazil.
However, Xherdan Shaqiri and Co came up trumps with a 3-2 win to ensure their own progression into the knockout rounds, while Cameroon also caused an upset beating the Samba stars 1-0.
