They said he was the next Lionel Messi, he disappointed everyone and retired

There are many players who are compared to Lionel Messi, the truth is that each of them has not been able to achieve what Leo did. They have the conditions, but when they are defined as the successor to the Argentine star they end up deflating. It is a situation similar to the one Ansu Fati is currently experiencing at Barcelona.

The one who wears the '10' at the Blaugrana has not raised his head since he was given that number and, as if that were not enough, the sports management of the culé team plans to sell it. His performances have not been up to par and he is one of the last spare parts of the Spanish coach. He only logs in for just under ten minutes.

That was the situation experienced by Bojan Krkic, who emerged from the lower ranks of Barcelona, where he played between 2007 and 2011 with Lionel Messi. He debuted with the Barcelona shirt at the age of 16. His outstanding performances both in the youth teams of the Blaugrana team and in the First Division and also in the National Team earned him the attention of the entire football world.

Bojan was defined as the new Messi. However, his career has faded. What seemed like it was going to be something from another world, ended up being a level in constant decline. The ex Azulgrana later played in Rome, Milan, Ajax, Stoke City, Mainz, Alavés and Montreal. His last team was the Japanese club Vissel Kobe, where he was in the last two seasons.

The end of a Barcelona disappointment

Now, the Spaniard finds himself without a team and has made the decision to hang up his boots. Bojan will announce this Thursday his retirement from professional football at the age of 32, in an act that will take place at the Blaugrana facilities. The forward summoned the media without announcing the reason.
