Mihailo Ristić (Serbian Cyrillic: Михаило Ристић, pronounced [rǐːstitɕ]; born 31 October 1995) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a left-back or left wing-back for La Liga club Celta and the Serbia national team.

Club career[edit]

Red Star Belgrade[edit]

Born in Bijeljina, Ristić played with Partizan Donja Trnova and Rudar Ugljevik during his youth career, before he moved to Red Star Belgrade, in early 2013 thanks to a scouting search.[2] He became one of the best players in Red Star's youth teams in shortly time, and was called to the first team under coach Ricardo Sá Pinto for the last league fixture of the 2012–13 season against Vojvodina.[3] Although he did not make a deby on that match,[4] he was on the bench during the game.[5] After the end of his youth career, Ristić signed his first professional contract with Red Star Belgrade in July 2014.[6] He made his Serbian SuperLiga debut for Red Star Belgrade on 9 August 2014,[7] under coach Nenad Lalatović, when he replaced Vukan Savićević in the 82 minute in a 2-0 win against Radnički Niš.[8] During the season, he was mostly used as a defensive midfielder.[9][10] After Miodrag Božović became the first coach of the Red Star Belgrade, Ristić started 2015–16 season as a back-up player. He also changed several positions on the field, playing as a central and left midfielder or as a left-back in some occasions. At the beginning of 2016–17 season, Mihailo definitely changed his position, but he also changed his jersey number and took 73 (He had worn 24 & 36 previously).[11] After Luis Ibáñez left the club, Ristić became the first choice as a left-back, which he justified making two assists in the 3rd fixture of the 2016–17 Serbian SuperLiga season against Mladost Lučani.[12] On 14 September 2016, Ristić extended his contract with club until summer 2020.[13]

However, neither the referee nor the linesman saw it as a goal, and play was continued. The final score was a 3–2 win for Krasnodar.[17]
