A few months ago, Mr Kevin Prince Boateng made the decision to retire from active action at the age of 36, after a long career with many titles and several honors in Europe’s top leagues.
Among other teams, the Ghanaian midfielder had also worn her jersey Barcelonathe second half of the 2018/19 season, going to Camp Nou on loan from Sassuolo.
About the time he was in Catalonia, the now former ace spoke in a recent interview, even revealing a… finite story!
Specifically, he stated that when he signed in Barcelona he was “forced” to declare that Mr Lionel Messi was the best footballer in the world, despite the fact that he has always been a supporter of Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo!
“I remember when I went to Barcelona, they immediately asked me who was the best player in the world. I had to say it was Lionel Messi. I lied. It was one of the biggest lies of my life! Normally I always tell the truth, but I lied because it was the only way to wear the Barcelona shirt. I’m sorry for the Barca fans, but I’ve always supported Real Madrid since I was little. I love Cristiano Ronaldo. But they told me I had to say about Messi, otherwise I wouldn’t play.” he said characteristically.
