Ivan Rakitić continues playing football at 36 years old with Saudi Al Shabab, but he recalled his successful time at Barcelona on the MicsPod podcast, where he told details of his relationship with some players from that team.

He recognized Lionel Messi as the best in history, but mentioned his lack of leadership on the field, being a player who did not give many indications, but attributed it to his personality that was more concerned with the actions of the game.

“Leo Messi is the best in history, and if he put his mind to it, he could be the best left back in the world if he wanted to. Although he was not the best captain to tell you what you had to do, because he was unique, different.”

Of the historic trident Messi, Suárez and Neymar (MSN), he revealed that his favorite is the Brazilian because he makes football look like a “dance”; Likewise, he hopes that he can lift his career, which has been affected by an injury that has kept him out since October of last year.

“It is my favorite. “Neymar makes football look like a dance, I think he still has a lot to give.”

He described Luis Suárez as a “beast” for his scoring ability, which has allowed him to collect hundreds of goals in teams like Ajax, LiverpoolBarcelona or Atlético de Madrid.

“He has two personalities: one on the field and one off; “He’s a beast, he kills you with a chance.”

What titles did Rakitić win with Barcelona?

The Croatian was part of Barcelona’s most winning period in its recent history, winning a Champions League, four leagues, a Club World Cupa European Super Cup, four Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups.
