Speaking on 'Linea Diletta', a program on DAZN Kevin Prince Boateng revealed that training with FC Barcelona's captain Lionel Messi left him speechless and urged all young footballers to have Ronaldo as an idol because of how he manages himself.
"The six months in Barcelona were incredible: at the beginning I didn't believe it, I thought Barcelona's Espanyol was looking for me, not Barcelona itself," he said.
"Training with Messi left me speechless: I had always said that Cristiano Ronaldo was the strongest in the world, but Messi is another thing, it is not normal,"
"I was training with him and, for the first time in my career, I felt poor: he did some incredible stuff, I felt like saying 'I'll let it go, I'll stop playing,"
“Yes now I have number 7 like many great ones. Cristiano Ronaldo is a war machine, it is impressive how well he manages himself: all young people should have him as their idol," he ended.
