Looked lively and got an assist for the third. The game was basically over when he came on, though.

I would love Kovacic, he could become the next Luka.. But wow, I’d still take the real Luka, he was just frickin class A tonight, genius and a fabulous goal. He’d still be an ace signing for us, doesn’t look or play any older than when he left.

He's a genius midfielder. Such a shame that we not only failed to keep hold of him, but that we couldn't win anything while he was here.
Same goes for Bale. The fact that they played in the same team makes it worse if anything.

We all know that he makes a team tick with his ball retention, movement, & intelligent passing but what a defensive performance, even diving numerous times to cut out passes.
In fact, the whole team was tenacious defensively.

I've seen plenty of Valencia fans laughing at juve paying so much, so I'm guessing we got the better deal

If Kovacic is determined to leave...
have a replacement lined up. A man Lopetegui has long been a fan of.

Yeah. That doesn't say he's leaving.

Kovacic looked good when he came on last night but then I reckon I would've looked half decent against that Argentine defence.
Kovacic needs to go somewhere where he can get regular football, think he has good potential to get to the same level as Rakitic and Modric or close to that level, they have such a great midfield Croatia.

The two times I have seen Rakitic come on in this world cup he has played as a wide attacking midlfielder… wouldn't we be looking for him to be a ball winning playmaker in the middle of the pitch? Brozovic was excellent in that role and I'm sure we could get him at a far better price and he starts there ahead of Kovacic for his country!.

The little I've seen of Kovacic I'd say he is more of an Ali/Eriksen hybrid. Definitely not a Dembele Modric type.

Kovacic is honest in MARCA: "I want to play more and the best thing is to leave Madrid"
Matteo Kovacic, since the happy concentration of Croatia in St. Petersburg, is sincere in MARCA. The Croatian player has given many turns to his decision, but believes that the time has come to leave the Real: "I want to play more and the best thing is to leave Madrid".
There is only one reason for Kovacic's decision and that is to have more minutes on the other side: "I love football and being on the turf, I want the opportunity to be a starter on another team, if I do not play ... I'm not happy" .
The Balkan midfielder, as he tells in the MARCA newspaper on Saturday to Juan Ignacio García-Ochoa , is convinced of his departure. Kovacic is clear and it seems that neither Lopetegui will change his mind.
Mateo has been very happy in Madrid, but he wants to play to be even more so. At the Bernabéu they think that Croatia's 8 is a future player, but he is in a hurry. The interview in its entirety and exclusively, in your MARCA diary this Saturday.
