Bojan was featured in the post match press conference and his words reflected the views of the entire Barca team.


Mobbed by the press after the demolition of Real Murcia in Camp Nou, the goal machine was elated and pleased with the performance of the super stars and also, humble in his words , body language and expressions while speaking for himself and on behalf of the whole team. The teenager slammed in a 52nd minute goal after a well laid cross from French goal king, Thierry Henry who was also all over the pitch and combined with Bojan to cause serious problems for the visitors. Bojan said that:

We needed a win like this. Now if we qualify against Sevilla, we will feel more confident. The game against Madrid was a hard blow. We had to sort things out and I think we are showing that we did. I feel fine in any of the three attacking positions. I connect well with Henry, it’s something innate.

The Barca striker who has stood in well for injured Lionel Messi is already mapping out ways he will destroy Sevilla on Tuesday in the Copa Del Rey deciding leg at Camp Nou. Kick-off time for the match is 21:00 hours local time.

The grateful and delighted Fran Rijkaard is taking more and more to Bojan Krkic as the young lad outperforms all newcomers.


Though Bojan Krkic was expected to play well in his first season at FC Barcelona, the goal machine is rapidly beginning to exceed expectations as he has kept scoring with the slightest opportunity given to him. Barca's opponents are now aware that aside from Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o, Bojan Krkic has played himself into becoming a third major threat in the Blaugrana attack in the absence of injured Lionel Messi. Bojan has never disappointed from his first match against Al-Ahly of Egypt in which he scored a classical goal,and the seniors have seen the goal scorer repeat such performance over and again in official matches. An impressed coach Rijkaard said after Bojan scored against Real Murcia on the 12th of January, 2008:

Barca played onight and the players were brilliant. They left a good impression. It is always important to open up the game when you play a side that keeps it tight at the back. In that sense, we should congratulate Bojan because he played intelligently on the right and contributed to the win in that role.

Bojan will anchor the Barcelona attack when the Catalan giants file out in Camp Nou on Tuesday against Sevilla in the second leg tie of the Copa Del Rey. The first leg ended 1-1 in Seville.

Bojan Krkic and Giovani dos Santos inspired further by victory and Magnificent Messi.


The two youngsters and teenage sensations currently shaking up the ranks at FC Barcelona, Bojan Krkic and Giovani dos Santos, have been thrilled to watch Barca gradually rise to the feared form many predicted before the season began. Bojan Krkic made his La Liga debut at the Camp Nou against Sevilla, after making debuts in the La Liga away match against Osasuna, then having also his Champions League debut against Olympique Lyon. The 17-year old kid wonder speaks:

The match against Sevilla was a very complicated one, but the team performed brilliantly, and little by little we're showing form. It's clear to see that there are many interesting players emerging from the cantera. Yes, I still need to score, but I'll get more chances. We have to build up our rhythm but you can see that we’re progressing. People can see that Giovani and I are young and they appreciate the effort. As for Lionel Messi, he such a great player who seems to come from another planet.

Giovani dos Santos, who won the penalty that earned Barca its second goal, also spoke on the good results so far, the players and the stars, Messi and Ronaldinho:

We were serious throughout the game and kept our concentration. We have beaten one of the best teams in the league. Great players like Lionel Messi are helping the team and I hope that he has a wonderful season. We've played two good matches in a row and have won both - that's the key thing. Also I hope Ronaldinho returns soon. His presence alone intimidates the opposition.

Ronaldinho is down with calf injury and is set to return to action soon, but at a yet to be specified date.

The fairytale continues for impressive Bojan Krkic as he's chosen to plot the fall of Sevilla FC.


Frank Rijkaard has expressed a lot of confidence in young Bojan, calling him a very talented young man who is very important to FC Barcelona. To demonstrate this, Rijkaard featured Bojan in the La Liga game against Osasuna and in the Champions League match against Olympique Lyon. As a result of Bojan Krkic's performance, the young star has been selected as a top weapon against Sevilla FC in Barca's next La Liga match.

Three days after making his debut for FC Barcelona in the La Liga, young Bojan Krkic also made his debut for Barca in the UEFA Champions League match against Olympique Lyon at Camp Nou, coming in as an 88th minute substitute for man-of-the-match, Lionel Messi. Bojan, who is now a favourite among the doting Barca fans in Camp Nou, was roundly applauded as he entered the pitch, with fans waving, shouting and rising to herald the coming of the young talent. After the match, Bojan spoke to the press, saying:

It was such a great moment for me. I was happy enough just to be on the bench, but seeing the public cheer and the loud ovation when I took to the pitch was just incredibl. It's a feeling that is impossible to explain.

After making his debut for FC Barcelona in the La Liga match against Osasuna in Pamplona, the teenager had said he looked forward to not only making his Champions League debut, but also making his debut at the legendary Camp Nou, the home place of FC Barcelona. Bojan achieved both on Wednesday night, and looks set to make his La Liga debut at the Camp Nou on Saturday against Sevilla FC.
