The youngster was mobbed by the pres after playing a full 90 minutes for the Catalan giants.


Bojan was spectacular all through the game and Coach Frank Rijkaard couldn't help but leave the teen wonder on the pitch for the full 90 minutes of the match, as the crowd - and Rijkaard's tactics - were in sync with the displays and ball distribution by Bojan Krkic. After the match in which a lone strike by French goal king Thierry Henry was the only goal of the match that gave FC Barcelona victory, the press looked for and found young Bojan Krkic, who they interviewed. Bojan made comments on the match as follows:

I think the most important thing is to win and stay alive in the three competitions. We’re in a situation where the result is more important. We must be patient. We’ll soon start playing well. Madrid could have dropped some points today but the most important thing was for us to win. Villarreal are difficult on their own ground. We’ll try and get a good result in the first leg.

Bojan Krkic will feature for Barca in two closely scheduled matches this week. The first in El Madrigal against Villarreal in the Copa del Rey quarter -final match first leg, and the second match in San Mames against Athletico Bilbao in the La Liga just two days after the Villarreal game.

As a role model to thousands of young people world over, especially in Spain, Bojan begins to play his God-given role.


As a clean-cut, scandal free and hardworking young player, Bojan Krkic is a motivation and a great role model in Catalunya and in all of Spain. Bojan was recently at Camp Nou for a kids' presentation entitled Vull ser futbolista which in Catalan, translates to : I want to be a footballer. It was an essay competition run by the European Association of Former Footballers and the Catalan Football Federation. At the event, Bojan read out a paper that he wrote when he was eight years old, when he idolised then-Barcelona forward Patrick Kluivert and revealed a dreame of playing for FC Barcelona or Manchester United. Bojan said:

I thought of United because they're a big club, but I always wanted to play for Barcelona.

Now, Bojan Krkic has achieved his dream of playing for th Catalan giants, and wants to inpire other youngsters to be like him.

Bojan Krkic is ready to play for the Spanish senior national team.


The 17 year-old goal machine is not at all over-awed by the possibility that he might star for Spain in the national team's next match against France in a friendly at Malaga, to be played in the month of February. Bojan has been the hottest subject of discussion as the Spanish team officials want to forever seal the goal machine's chances of playing for his father's country Serbia, after Bojan has successfully played for - and scored - in most Spanish junior team matches. Now, the time is right for the teenager to ear the big boots of the senior national team, after Krkic played - and scored - for the senior national team of Catalunya in his debut match. The senior national team of Spain is not expected to be any different. Reacting to the possibility, Bojan said:

I'm going to play football, given any opportunity to do so, and if the day comes that I'm called up for the Spanish senior national team, the selección then I will of course be grateful. If not, it's OK.

February is a date with destiny for young Bojan Krkic. If Bojan plays for Spain, this will make him the youngest player in history to ever play for Spain, at the age of 17 years and six months in February.

The goal machine had some nice words for hard fighting Sevilla who caused a scare in Camp Nou.



The Copa del Rey clash wasn't as easy as many people thought for the Blaugrana. The Seville team ran riot right from the first minute, missing a close header after a Daniel Alves cross. Alves later troubled Barca keeper Valdes again, and then went on to rattle to Blaugrana woodwork before Navas put Sevilla ahead though the goal was rightly ruled offside. Bojan Krkic was equally impressive in the match, coming in as a 55th minute sub for Eidur Gudjohnsen and upsetting the entire Sevilla defence before almost grabbing the winner for Barca in the dying minutes of the game. The talented teenager spoke after the colourful battle, saying:

We have shown calmness and that we are a team. We went out to win the game but we took it calm because they were the side that was playing catch up. Sevilla played well but we knew how to hold on and create occasions. You always suffer when you try to hold on to a 0-0 draw and there is that fear but we showed that we have a strong team.

Bojan will feature for FC Barcelona in the La Liga match on Sunday, 20th January against Racing Santander. Venue is Camp Nou and kick-off time is 21:00 hours.
