I was the new Lionel Messi at Barcelona, joined Stoke and now have shock new career

Winning it all with Barcelona, before gracing the Premier League with Stoke, Bojan Krkic is now embarking on a new shock career.

Scoring 900 goals for Barca’s youth teams, the 32-year-old was once dubbed the ‘new Messi’, opened up on his football career and life afterwards.

Having won LaLiga four times between 2008-11, the Champions League twice, he also got his hands on the Eredivisie title with Ajax.

Later joining Stoke, he helped the Potters to ninth-placed finishes on three successive seasons, and was recently released by Vissel Kobe in December.

Though it was breaking the record set by Lionel Messi, as the youngest player at Barcelona to make his first-team debut at the time, the Catalan forward will never forget.

'I was Meant to be the Next Lionel Messi - I Ended my Career in Japan at Just 32'

Lionel Messi's explosion onto the scene as an explosive, precociously talented teenager captured the imagination of many a football fan. His subsequent evolution into an eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, however, raised the bar of expectation for similarly talented youngsters. Particularly in the age of media hyperbole, scores of exciting young forwards across the globe have been labelled 'the next Messi' - particularly if they shared any of his characteristics.

But perhaps the first player to carry that label in earnest was Bojan Krkic, three years Messi's junior and a fellow graduate of Barcelona's famed La Masia academy.

Fast-forward to the present day and Bojan, still only 34, is long retired, having hung up his boots in March 2023 after playing for Vissel Kobe in Japan.
