Bojan Krkic put Mainz 05 into the lead against Bayern Munich in today's 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena to bring up his first goal for the German side since his winter transfer window move from Stoke City. His debut goal in the Bundesliga means he is the first Spanish player to have scored in all four of Europe's major leagues - the Spanish, Italian, English and German leagues. He also scored in the Dutch league during his spell at Ajax.

Bojan, from La Masía to Barcelona's first team

The 26-year-old, a product of Barcelona's youth academy, has already starred for six different clubs. He emerged from La Masía as one of the big promises of Spanish football, and turned down the opportunity to represent the Serbia national team to play for Spain - making his debut in a friendly against Armenia in September 2008. In his first season with Barça he scored 12 goals in all competitions, including 10 in LaLiga. He scored his first club in the Week 8 meeting with Villarreal aged just 17 years and 51 days.
