Bojan said he was happy with his input, and told reporters after the game: “I am really happy  to have been here for such a fantastic experience and celebrate the win and our survival with our great supporters”. Back in April, Bojan made the headlines when he became the first Spanish player in history to have scored in all four of Europe's major leagues after putting the ball away against Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
