In the sea of European matches played on Thursday, the third qualifying round clash for the Conference League between Poland's Raków and Sweden's Hammarby drew special attention, and not just because of the result. In the home team's starting lineup was former Dinamo player Marko Bulat, and his performance on the left wing in a 3-4-3 formation became a viral hit for a completely unexpected reason.

While the visitors from Sweden patiently circulated the ball looking for an attacking opportunity, the Polish television commentator couldn't help but notice Bulat's lethargic off-the-ball play. His remark quickly spread across the football world. "Look at Bulat. It's only the 25th minute, and he looks like they're playing extra time", the commentator joked, and the clip of that moment amassed half a million views in less than 24 hours.

Goalless match, but with high stakes for Hajduk

The first leg in Poland ended goalless, meaning the return match in Sweden in a week's time will decide who advances to the play-off. This fact is particularly interesting for fans of Split's Hajduk, as the winner of this tie will face a two-legged clash against the Poljud side for a spot in the Conference League group stage.

Bulat, who joined Raków in January 2025 for a fee of €800,000, made 31 appearances and scored four goals in the Polish league last season. Still, these are not the moments he hoped for when he left Maksimir.

From teenage transfer to six trophies with Dinamo

Marko Bulat arrived at Dinamo in February 2021 as a highly rated talent, after which he spent six months on loan at his parent club Šibenik. He joined the Blues' first team in the summer at just 19 years old. In three full seasons at the Zagreb club, he won a total of six trophies: three league titles, one Cup, and two Supercups.

For Dinamo, he played 87 official matches, scoring eight goals and providing ten assists. Including friendly matches, that number rises to 107 appearances and nine goals. Twice he experienced spring in European competitions with the club, including appearances in the Champions League. His development was briefly halted by an injury that kept him out for six months, from March to September 2022.
