Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic isn't sure if even his father has praised him as much as Jose Mourinho recently did.
Per Sport, Mourinho showered the Croatian with praise after he scored the decisive goal in Barca's 1-0 win over Real Madrid on March 2, describing him as "one of the most underrated players in the world."
Rakitic responded: "What can you say? I don't have enough words to thank Mourinho. He is one of the best experts in the world. I don't know if my dad has ever praised me in a better way.
