“The whole team trusted him, he really was a true leader” – Bojan snubs Lionel Messi, names ex-Barcelona star as best ever teammate

Former Barcelona attacker Bojan Krkic has snubbed Lionel Messi while naming his best-ever teammate. The former Spain international has named Ronaldinho as the best player he has ever shared a pitch with.

Bojan came through Barcelona’s esteemed youth ranks and was tipped to become a world-beater like Lionel Messi. However, the gifted forward failed to reach his potential and left the Catalan giants in 2011.

During his time at Barca, Bojan shared the pitch with some of the best footballers of the modern era. The list includes players like Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and others but he has named Ronaldinho as his best-ever teammate.

The former AS Roma and Stoke City attacker insisted that the Brazilian great had everything in his game and was also a true leader. During an interview with Abola, he said (via GOAL):

Bojan added:

Ronaldinho spent five seasons on the books of Barcelona and was arguably the best player on the planet during his stint at the club. He made 207 appearances for the Spanish giants, scoring 94 times and providing 69 assists. The forward won the Ballon d’Or in 2005 and won five trophies for the Catalan giants.

Arjen Robben has explained why Lionel Messi was better than Cristiano Ronaldo and other players of his generation. The Argentine superstar is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Messi and Ronaldo have shared a rivalry between themselves for almost two decades now. However, Robben believes that Messi is the greatest player of all time. Robben told the TOUZANI YouTube channel last year:

The Dutch football icon added:

Lionel Messi is the most decorated footballer of all time and is also the recipient of the most Ballons d’Or. He has won eight Ballons d’Or over the years while his eternal rival Ronaldo has won five.

Snehanjan Banerjee

Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.

Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.

Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
