Former Barcelona midfielder, Kevin-Prince Boateng, has said that training alongside Lionel Messi was inadequate for him.

The Ghanaian said that the kind of things the Argentine does during training almost made him quit football.

The 37-year-old also added his opinion to the debate on Messi and his rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Training with Messi left me speechless,” Boateng told DAZN.

“I had always said that Cristiano Ronaldo was the best in the world, but Messi is something else. He’s not normal.

“While training with him, I felt inadequate for the first time in my career. He was doing incredible things. I felt like saying: ‘I’m done, I’m going to quit playing!’”
