Lovro Majer remains hot in France for Rennes as he scored a late insurance goal versus Montpellier Friday night in a 4-2 victory. Majer played a beautiful give n’ go with teammate Bourigeaud in the box to secure all three points for his side. Since coming over from Dinamo Zagreb in the summer, Majer now has two goals and six assists in 18 Ligue 1 matches. Rennes currently sit in 4th place; on the brink of a Champions League berth next season.
Petar Musa has done it again! Musa scored Boavista’s opening goal in a 3-2 win over Estoril Sunday. The 23 year-old Croatian striker now has a goal or assist in five straight matches (4 goals, 1 assist) as Croatia desperately looks for attacking prowess in 2022. Musa is currently on loan at Boavista from Slavia Prague.
Luka Modrić and Real Madrid escaped Saturday with a slim 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano. Goalie Thibault Courtois was the best player for Madrid with three world class saves. Modric received a 6/10 grade for his 88 minutes on the pitch. Per The Real Champs, “Luka Modrić was not as accurate with his passing as Kroos was not as involved in the match, and it is becoming worrisome to see how little of an impact he is making defensively. The man is tired, and it is high time Carlo Ancelotti did something about it. Subbing him out in the 87th minute does not constitute rest, by the way.
So overall, it was an underwhelming performance from Modrić, but there were bright areas. He had a great pass for Asensio and did more to progress the ball than the other starting Real Madrid midfielders. You wonder that if Casemiro were better on this day, Modrić would have stood out more positively.”
Perišić, Brozović, and Inter Milan draw blanks Friday in 0-0 draw vs. Genoa; remain 2 points behind AC Milan
Did anyone see the EFL Cup final today? I’ve never seen anything like it. Right before it goes to penalties, Tuchel switches Mendy out and puts Kepa in. All 10 shooters for both teams score, Liverpool’s goalie scores, then Kepa skies one. Hilarious 🤣
Maybe I shouldn’t poke too much fun though, ever since Grbic’s disaster against PSG, he’s been riding the bench. Livakovic stinks, but at least Ivusic shut Dinamo out today. We really need to somehow get decent goaltending. I’m not sure how though…..
I’m praying ivusic somehow becomes something for us
Ya Musa is on fire
Both him and majer are saying play me, that’s for certain

Musa on the scoresheet again. A very nice goal. Perfectly timed run and perfectly placed shot. He’s getting hard to ignore.
Solid goal.
He’s tied for 8th place in league scoring, and he’s played fewer minutes than most of the players on that top scorers table (and his scoring is not inflated with penalty goals either). If he continues the recent scoring rate, he’ll be a top-5 scorer in that league.
The best thing for him is for Bovista to avoid relegation and for him to make that move to the Portuguese league permanent (and continue this positive development).
I would hate to see him go back to Slavia Prague and potentially ruin his flow with a new team and coach.
Sorry if someone posted this already but remember when FIFA sanctioned our guys for being pro-ukraine?

Fucking scumbags were like how dare you criticise Mother Russia.
Why is robert muric on bench? He is top scorer and assist in the league..lol
Majer looks like berbatov.

Pray for our decki
I won’t be, if they want to put the Ukrainians ahead of their families that’s their problem. Imagine going to fight for the Jew president of Ukraine whose gandpapa was a Bolshevik.
But if you feel the need to pray, pray that those volunteers are from partizan families.
Politics aside I pray for the safe return of any Croat that goes and fights the tyrant

Which tyrant? Zelenskyy has jailed his political opposition.
Russian is a Chetnik Country Stupido.
Seriously man, the people dying in Ukraine mean nothing to you??! They were one of the first countries.to accept Croatia’s independence…It’s that kind of attitude around the world that made it difficult, and made it take longer for people to help us in the 90’s… I just think you should step back for a moment and ponder about what you just said, because it is really stupid.
Ukraine doesn’t really have a choice in this one, to comment on the background of there president is a bit stupid to me.
So Hajduk goes down in flames….
Do we blame the refs? Mamic?
PS An article suggestion….
Is the “new” Hajduk the same as the “old” Hajduk? 😉
Well they had a shitty game against Rijeka so they lost. To me none of these teams should really boast until they win a title in Europa or Champions League that is where the true success lies. 20 or 30 titles in a league like Croatia’s to me doesn’t mean much whether it were Dinamo or Hajduk, or anyone else for that matter. The level of play and competition isn’t there, and that is because corruption takes place. So yeah in some ways it goes back to individuals like Mamic, and not just him but others. Unfortunately our league won’t reach those heights if other teams are not funded in equal terms or if people take advantage of the system.
Your not seeing the bigger picture bud…
Ukraine Alpha Group has engaged the Chechen cut throats. Glory to the Ukraine 🇺🇦!
Are we sending our boys over?
Nicely botched clearance by Hajduk’s latest two-bit foreign hire (Ferro).
Did they ever watch this guy play before signing him on loan?
Or did they just assume he was good because he was on Benfica’s squad?
This gives Rijeka the 3-1 win and really hurts Hajduk’s chances.
If you’re gonna take a chance on foreign players, at least own their rights so you can sell them later.
Really sucks seeing Biuk on the bench for 85 minutes, but having average, low-value foreign players on the field.
Make like a max foreigner rule
I agree no old bums and foreigners
Let the kids develop and make some mistakes
For sure they re configure playoffs for Italy and Portugal
Also, how long before Madrid coughing up the big bucks to bring new their hopeful new luka modric from France?
Just on the LM and similar look and being Croat it’s at least 10 mill on the transfer fee
Prove me wrong!
I think Lovely Majer is becoming one hell of player! He has about 4 goals and 7 assists this season overall. Not mention pulling string in Rennes midfield. I can’t wait to see the guy achieve more!
Stupid autocorrect lol!! I meant Lovro Majer lol..
Too late.
Peder confirmed.
Otto Baric and Vlatko Markovic were right!
Looks like Poland will not play against Russia in the WC play offs.
FIFA and UEFA should kick out all Russian national teams and club sides from all competitions. Slovakia finished third in our group and should replace Russia in the WC play offs. I think that all governments and Football Federations should put pressure on FIFA and UEFA to do this.
My guess is that they will use it as a way to separate Portugal and Italy so they can both be there!
