Estonia football star Karel Mustmaa was in Riga training when the Baltic tournament was won

Estonia's national football team won the Baltic tournament, but one of its heroes Karel Mustmaa was in Riga preparing for a U21 match when the title was secured. The young striker was unusually self-critical about his own performance after the tournament.

Estonia's national football team was crowned Baltic tournament champions, but one of the tournament's standout strikers Karel Mustmaa was unable to celebrate the victory immediately, he was in Riga at the time, preparing for Sunday's U21 national team match.

When Tony Varjund scored for Estonia against the Faroe Islands on Saturday, Mustmaa was already on his way to Latvia. The young player had shone earlier in the tournament and left a strong impression on Estonian fans with his attacking displays.

Despite the positive result, Mustmaa showed maturity by being extremely critical of his own performance. "I should have remained professional," said the young striker, referring to moments when his display fell short of his own standards.

The Baltic tournament is an annual football competition between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, giving national teams the opportunity to test young players at international level. This year's tournament was particularly valuable for Estonia's national team, as it showcased several promising young strikers, including both Varjund and Mustmaa.
