Bojan Krkic or simply Bojan, born August 28, 1990 in Lleida, Catalonia, is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Barcelona.

Bojan was born to a Serbian father and a Spanish mother. He played for FC Barcelona's youth teams or cantera from 1999 to 2005. A quick striker, with quite notable dribbling skills, Bojan played the 2006–07 season with the FC Barcelona B team until he signed a professional contract with the Barcelona A team upon turning 17.

On September 16, 2007 (at 17 years and 19 days), Bojan made his official debut for FC Barcelona against CA Osasuna, coming on at the 78th minute for Giovani dos Santos. Three days later, he made his UEFA Champions League debut against Olympique Lyonnais, coming on at the 88th minute for Lionel Messi. He was, at the time, the youngest Barcelona player ever to feature in a Champions League game, at 17 years and 22 days.

Bojan scored his first ever Champions League goal on April 1, 2008 (at 17 years and 215 days) against Schalke 04, netting the only goal in the first leg of the quarterfinals, making him the first person born in the 1990s to score in the Champions League and the second youngest player ever, behind Ghanaian forward Peter Ofori-Quaye. He finished the season with a record of 10 goals, breaking Raúl's record of most goals scored in a debut season.
