After much speculation about his alleged dissatisfaction and potential dismissal from Barcelona, Croatian international and Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitić has revealed the truth in a recent interview.
Darijo Srna has made a decision to remain at Shakhtar Donetsk, deciding against a move to Barcelona, reports Slobodna Dalmacija on January 14, 2017.
Darijo Srna yesterday played perhaps his last derby for Shakhtar against Dynamo Kyiv. The former Croatian captain’s side pulled out a 4:3 win, and now it just may be time to look ahead to Spain.
It seems that after 13 years and more than 500 games playing for Shakhtar, the captain has asked to leave the club.
Luka Modric was a key figure in yesterday’s El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona which ended in a draw at Camp Nou (1:1). Not only did the Croatian midfielder assist Sergio Ramos for an equalizer in injury time, but he was the true master of the mid-field, reports Vecernji List.
Croatian National Team footballer and Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitić said he would one day like to play on a team led by coach Pep Guardiola. Afterall, Guardiola is the reason Rakitić chose to wear the number 4 jersey at the Catalan club, reports Slobodna Dalmacija.
Croatian Ivan Kelava, the goalkeeper of Granada, said something considered pretty common in Croatia, but in Spain, there are other rules.
Probably the biggest football match of them all was played last night in Barcelona, and two best Croatian players left their mark on the pitch.
