The Swedish team defended itself like a belly-up cat in the match against Spain (0-0), but it also had a chance to win. Janne Andersson’s team had two very clear chances, one of them in the boots of a Marcus Berg who did not manage to finish when he had everything in front of him to make the first of his team. The Krasnodar forward received insults and threats after missing an opportunity that could have turned the tide of the match .
It was the 60th minute of the match between Spain and Sweden at the La Cartuja Stadium. Luis Enrique’s team was being superior, but a great offensive action by Alexander Isak was about to cost Unai Simón an upset. However, Marcus Berg finished horribly and was not able to connect the great ball that Isak had served him , which was a headache for the Spanish defense.
Minutes later, many Swedish fans exploded against the Krasnodar striker. Harassment similar to that experienced by Álvaro Morata , although in the case of the Swede it is already in the hands of the Police. Likewise, the Federation of the Scandinavian country is studying denouncing the insults and threats received , some of them very harsh and humiliating.

Regardless, Marcus Berg found comfort in his teammates. The first to appreciate the insults was Alexander Isak , the man who served him the ball on Berg’s clear occasion: “ It’s really sad, we all win and lose together . Sometimes you are lucky and other times you are not, it is nothing strange, “said the Real Sociedad forward. For his part, Robin Olsen also defended him: “It’s so ridiculous… I’m not going to waste my energy evaluating that. We all know how important it is to us .
