After the 16th matchday of the 2007/08 season, Krstajić drew attention to himself through an unauthorized visit to the disco until the early hours of the morning. He was then suspended on the day of the UEFA Champions League game against Rosenborg Trondheim , which was decisive for remaining in European competition .
