Super talent Nikola Roganovic's goal celebration when Sweden lost to Croatia

Nikola Roganovic is considered by many to be the future of Swedish handball. Against Croatia, he showed his mettle again. The 19-year-old super talent scored eleven goals in the loss.

"It's gone pretty well, you have to say. I'm happy with the first half, even though we could have been a little tougher in defense," Roganovic said at halftime to SVT.

By then he had already scored seven times in Varaždin, Croatia.

However, it wasn't enough for his team. Croatia seized control at the end of the first half and took a two-goal lead into the break. There was no turning back, and Croatia won the friendly match 35–31.

Roganovic announced himself to the wider handball audience during the European Championship in January, where he scored seven goals in his championship debut.

The national teams also met in Kristianstad on Wednesday. Sweden won 34–31.
