Can Ante Budimir be any more consistent than he’s been this season? Don’t think so. Sporting a “Batman-esque” mask Monday night, Budimir rattled home the game’s lone goal in the 76th minute of play with a well struck left-footed curler from outside the box. It’s Budimir’s 14th La Liga goal of the season in 27 appearances. He’s only two goals behind league leader, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, for most goals in Spain; which is an absolutely crazy thought when talking about 32 year-old Budimir. He’s not only scoring consistently this season, but he’s scoring absolute gems!
Is there any question he will be Croatia’s starting #9 this summer at Euro 2024? Don’t think so.
Beautiful stroke shot (looks like a clean strike – no deflection)
Best goal I’ve seen him score out of the 14
Reminds me of vintage Olic in Bungesliga cutting in from the right and striking it right in the top left corner of the goal (he did it a few times)
Probably something they went thru during the November camp / qualifiers together – Budimir took notes
I wish him all the best when playing for the repka. But he’s gonna be made to look average by Dalic and our overrated midfield.
LOL now there’s a hot take.
No doubt about that goal. Nice! He is in his 32-year-old Croatian prime peak condition. Nice guy finishing first, or at least close to it, good to see. Bhuddamir way to go. This is going to be a great deep Euro run. The Saudi tourney warm up is the perfect. Budimir – Livakovic-Dalic. vs Sesko-Oblak-Kekic Final. Can’t wait.
Budimir looks confident and seems to be at the top of his game right now.
If he can bring this Beast mode to the Euro and we have a little bit of good luck we could go deep in this tournament and have a shot at wininng our first big trophy 🏆
Osasuna are 3W 1D in their past four games.
They suddenly have an outside shot at qualifying for Europa (especially with Betis having injuries).
It’s just a shame they have to face Real and Girona in their next two games. Can’t see them winning those.
Budimir gonna go all world and maybe pull it out of his hat
Would be a great achievement if they made Europa
I always had faith in the guy, but most of us thought after World Cup he was done for the repka
Never count a Croat out I guess
With him krama and petko we could be solid at euro
Lots of time to go but just like we needed livakovic to go all world for a month
We need a striker now for a month, budimir will do if he stays hot
Would be great If Qatar livakovic would show up again…
