EXCLUSIVE | Andrija Bulatović: ‘He won the biggest trophy in France, but I’ve won two!’

Andrija Bulatović, a teenage midfielder who has joined Ligue 1 club RC Lens from Montenegro's Budućnost Podgorica, has won two major trophies. The Coupe de France and the Trophée des Champions were added to his collection in May and August respectively. His cousin, Anto Drobnjak, was a successful striker and won the 1997/98 Division 1 trophy with Lens.

Bulatović's family, including his father and older brother, have backgrounds in football. He chose Lens for the opportunities it provides to young players. He plays with a competitive spirit, inspired by Lionel Messi and N'Golo Kanté, and approaches his role with 100% effort and aggression. Lens finished second in Ligue 1 last season and qualified for the UEFA Champions League.

Bulatović, who has represented Montenegro eight times, expresses excitement about playing in Europe and mentions his dream of playing at Anfield, home of Liverpool.
