Real Madrid's latest signing hasn't got off to the best of starts at his new club.

Mateo Kovacic, who moved from Inter Milan on a six-year deal, made a bit of a blunder addressing the fans and media for the first time. Kovacic ended his speech with the phrase ‘Bon dia a tots,' which means "Good day, everyone"... in Catalan. Considering the club's arch rivals Barcelona hail from Catalunya, 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 a turning while leaving the ground and continued driving the wrong way down a one-way road. Let's hope the Croat's first couple of days at his new club aren't an omen for his future in Spain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P43QGTW8XHo
