Rakitic’s declaration of love to… Real Madrid

Considered one of the best midfielders of the last ten years, Ivan Rakitic (36 years old) participated in a prosperous period for FC Barcelona with the MSN in particular, and a Champions League victory. Thus, the former Sevilla FC, now at Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia, has a particular connection with the Blaugrana. However, Rakitic remains lucid when discussing the future of Barça’s great rival: Real Madrid. Moreover, the Croatian is full of praise for Florentino Perez, the Madrid president.

“I’m not talking about this season, but the fact that they did things correctly to have a solid base, to dominate for a few years. I speak with the greatest respect because they have been my rivals for many, many years, but to see what Florentino Pérez is achieving is to say ‘hats off’.”estimated the Croatian midfielder for Marca. A statement that is sure to get people talking.
