Lionel Messi was compared to this player, now it did not end well for him.
Lionel Messi was compared to this player, now it did not end well for him.

Lionel Messi is considered the best player in the history of FC Barcelona. The captain of the Argentine team won absolutely everything with the Catalans and he has 35 titles to his credit, four of them in the Champions League and three in the Club World Cup. However, a couple of years ago they came to say that a Spanish forward was going to be up to the 'Flea' and would even be better than him. Now, at the age of 32, he retires from football and dedicates himself to selling bicycles.

This is Bojan Krkic. The Spanish player decided to close his stage as a footballer, after being left without a contract at the Japanese Vissel Kobe. Although he painted for crack in his early days, he failed to consolidate over time and ended his career, where he went through clubs like Barcelona, AC Milan, Rome or Ajax.

Led by Pep Guardiola, Bojan made his debut in the culé first team and his talent impressed everyone. He got along perfectly with Lionel Messi and in Spain they even said that he would surpass the level and what was achieved by the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7), but they were wrong. He spent four seasons in the Blaugrana squad, where he won nine titles. In 2011 he left Spain and was in teams in Italy, the Netherlands, England, Canada and Japan. He never managed to show what he did at the start of his career.

What is Bojan Krkić currently doing?

While he was in the final stretch of his career, the former Spanish striker decided to invest in a gravel bike brand called Guava. Bojan is a partner of Andrés Iniesta, with whom he played at Barcelona and in Japan. After his professional retirement, Krkić will dedicate himself to his role as a businessman.
