[edit] Career

[edit] Early years
Played for FC Barcelona's cantera from 1999 to 2005, scoring 961 goals in seven years, breaking all previous goal scoring records held at the club's youth levels.[4] A quick striker, with quite notable dribbling skills, Bojan played the 2006/2007 season with the FC Barcelona B team until he signed a professional contract with the Barcelona A team upon turning 17. Bojan played his first match with Barcelona on April 24, 2007, scoring a goal in a friendly match against Al-Ahly. The match ended with a 4-0 win for FC Barcelona. Bojan also featured in Barcelona's 2007 pre-season trip to Scotland, where he earned many plaudits as a result of his exciting second-half cameos against Dundee United and Heart of Midlothian F.C..


[edit] 2007-2008 Season
On September 16, he made his debut for FC Barcelona against Osasuna coming on at the 78th minute for Giovani Dos Santos.

On 19 September 2007, Bojan made his Champions League debut against Lyon coming on at the 88th minute for Lionel Messi. He is now the youngest player ever to feature in a Champions League game at 17 years old and 22 days.[5]

He made his 2nd Champions League appearance on 2 October 2007, coming on at the 81st minute for Ronaldinho against Stuttgart. On 20 October 2007, Bojan made his first league start for Barcelona away to Villarreal and scored in the 25th minute. It was his first goal for the club's first team and it made him the youngest ever goalscorer for Barcelona in a league match.[6][7]

Bojan scored his first ever Champions League goal on April 1st 2008 against Schalke 04 in the first leg of the quarter finals, making him the first person born in the 1990s to score in the Champions League, and the second youngest player ever behind Ghanaian forward Peter Ofori-Quaye, then-playing for Olympiakos CFP, who scored at the age of 17 years and 195 days old.[8]


[edit] National Team

[edit] 2006 UEFA Under-17 Football Championships
Bojan shot to prominence at the UEFA European Under 17 Championships in Luxembourg in May 2006 when he was joint top-scorer. He achieved this despite being a year younger than most of the other players in the tournament and only playing 45 minutes in four out of five of Spain Under-17s matches. He scored a hat-trick against Luxembourg before inspiring his side to a 3-0 victory over the eventual champions Russia, with all of the goals of the game being scored with him on the pitch as a second half sub. In the third match of the tournament, he scored a penalty after once again being introduced at half time. He started the semi-final against the Czech Republic but after his team mate Roberto García was sent off, Spain struggled and lost 2-0 in a shock result. In the third-place play-off Bojan was once again a second half sub and scored the opener on 53 minutes. When the match went to penalties, he scored and his side won 5-4 to finish third. In the 2007 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, Bojan led Spain to victory scoring the only goal against England in the final. He also scored in the semi-final against Belgium.


[edit] 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup
There was controversy surrounding Bojan's call up to the Spain U-17 squad for the U-17 2007 World Cup in Korea, because Barcelona wanted to keep him so that he could be part of their Asian Tour. The Spanish FA denied the grant, and more controversy arose when the Spanish FA denied one of Barcelona's medics, Ricard Pruna, the opportunity to accompany Bojan to the tournament to monitor a tendon problem in the player's knee.[9]

During the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup, he scored 5 goals, finishing joint 3rd top scorer along with Germany and Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos. He was inspirational in leading Spain to the final. However, in the semi-final against Ghana, Bojan was sent off for his 2nd yellow card with only seconds left to play. He was suspended for the final and Spain lost to Nigeria on penalties. Because of his performances, Bojan was given the adidas Bronze Ball, naming him the 3rd best player in the tournament, behind Macauley Christantus (Silver Ball) and Toni Kroos (Golden Ball).[10]


[edit] Under-21 International Team
He scored for the Spanish Under 21's in their 2-0 win over Poland on 12 October 2007, and has been impressive every time he has played for them, prompting Luis Aragonés to call him up to the senior side.


[edit] Spain National Squad
On 1 February 2008, Bojan was included in Luis Aragonés's squad for the Spanish national team in a friendly against France on 6 February 2008. Should he have featured in the match, Bojan would have made history by becoming the youngest player to ever represent Spain at 17 years, 5 months and 9 days, eclipsing Angel Zubieta's record of 17 years and nine months which has stood for over 70 years.[11] However, Bojan called in sick and couldn't make his debut.[12]
