Not to worry Mateo, tomorrow's a brand new day.

Real Madrid's latest signing hasn't really gotten off to the best of starts at his new club. The 21-year-old Croat, who moved from Inter Milan on a 6-year deal made a bit of a blunder addressing the fans and media on Thursday. Kovacic ended his speech with the phrase ‘Bon dia a tots,' which is Catalan for "Good day, everyone." Considering the club's arch rivals Barcelona are a Catlunyan outfit, Kovacic's honest mistake wasn't well received by the Madrid faithful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f2VqBAygFE This comes after Kovacic's driver made a pretty embarrassing error after his first training session at Madrid. He missed the turn off while leaving the ground and continued driving the wrong way down a one-way road. Let's hope his first couple of days at his new club aren't an omen for his future in Spain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P43QGTW8XHo
