Training with Lionel Messi at Barcelona ‘left me speechless’ - Kevin-Prince Boateng

Kevin-Prince Boateng has been talking about his brief spell at Barcelona and how training with Lionel Messi made him feel completely inadequate.

The forward made the surprise move to the Camp Nou in January 2019 on loan but only made four appearances for the Catalan giants.

Boateng admitted he was pretty shocked to hear Barca were in for him and went on to explain what it was like being Messi’s team-mate at the Camp Nou.

“The six months at Barcelona were incredible,. At first, I didn’t believe it. I thought it was Espanyol who wanted me, not the real Barcelona!
