Ivan Rakitic: Croatia should be more Blaugrana than white
Rakitic is the most important Croatian footballer in Barca history
Ivan Rakitic is the Croatian footballer who has played the most games in Barca history - tonight against Las Palmas is due to be his 200th appearance.
Rakitic follows in the footsteps of Prosinecki and Vucevic at Barca, among others. "I know those two very well, I was having a coffee with Goran in Barcelona recently," said Rakitic. "And I was working many years ago with Robert Prosinecki in the national team. It's a huge pride to be able to get more and more Croatians supporting Barca, there were a lot of players at Madrid. Croatia has to be more Blagurana than white."
FOUR CROATS
Robert Prosinecki played two seasons, 95-97, just featuring for 22 games. Vucevic played two games for the first team. In one of them he scored a double against Atletico. Alen Halilovic, meanwhile, played one game for Barca, against Elche in the Copa del Rey. Curiously the same opponent Rakitic made his debut against.
