Kevin Boateng says Iniesta doesn't deserve the award

Controversial AC Milan star Kevin Prince Boateng has slammed the decision to give UEFA’s award for the best player in Europe to Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta.

The Barcelona midfielder won the award on Thursday beating team-mate Lionel Messi and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Iniesta, 28, who inspired Spain to retain their crown at Euro 2012, won the vote by 53 sports journalists representing each of UEFA’s member nations.

But the ex-Ghana international Boateng, who notoriously quit the Black Stars last year, says the award should have gone to Real Madrid star Ronaldo.

“Unbelievable! I am sorry but for me RONALDO was the best player in Europe,” Boateng, the flamboyant AC Milan midfielder wrote.

The midfielder landed 19 votes to shock Messi, who had been the favourite for the prize.

Iniesta, 28, received 19 votes, with Ronaldo and Messi — the winner of last year’s inaugural prize — each receiving 17.

It is his second major individual honour of the summer, after he was named Player of the Tournament for his role in Spain’s triumph at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

An artful attacking midfielder, Iniesta has won every major honour in the game with Barcelona and Spain over the last four years and notably scored the extra-time winner against the Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa.

Despite his success at Euro 2012, Iniesta saw Barcelona miss out to Ronaldo’s Real Madrid in last season’s La Liga title race, while the Blaugrana also fell to eventual champions Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

    boating is just jealous and maybe had anti barca feelings which is making him suggest that inesta dosent deserve this title. but in either way evenif inesta had not got it , ronaldo would not had it too because messi did greater things than ronaldo and no doubt about that. the whole world minus boating is happy about this . so let him shut up and play to be better than inesta rather than being jealous.

  12. benito says:

    Absolute rubbish.Does K.P Boateng think the eufa award is for the dogs? A player who has inspired his nation to European glory and someone whose only achievement in the year under review is a league title with his club.Who deserves the ultimate?

  15. Nelo says:

    KPB is a fool n a disgrac 2 Africa. He shud learn 2 applaud rada talk bulsh§&§t wen rare oportunities aries

  16. eugene says:

    Kelvin is jealous of Barca because his side was eliminated by Barca last year’s champs league. Iniesta is such a brilliant player than Messi and Ronaldo when it comes to the field of play because its always hard to completely mark Iniesta as compare to Messi and Iniesta. You can see that in El Classico,Ronaldo normally scores but his performance on the day is always poor just that he score to announce his presence but I believe not scoring makes someone the best player. Iniesta is the best. Kelvin should concerntrate on how to help AC Milan to win Italian League and stop critics,where was he when Iniesta helped Spain to win the World Cup?He should give us a brk.

  17. jones says:

    kelven shoult up u dont kwon anything why re u compure ronaldo to inniester the guy is the best even world

  18. Dg says:

    I’m a milan fan,bcos barca knock us out doesn’t mean kevin shud talk shit,he shud concntrate on helping milan rather, Iniesta really deserve the award as he’s just simply perfect during the leag and europe campaign.even messy wants it to go to Iniesta. Congrats..forza milan

  19. yvonne says:

    Ghanaians re stil bitter towards dis guy. plz lets leave KPB alone. wether we/he like(s) it or nt, its a Ghanaian blood wich is runnin thru his veins.

  20. Gyamfi Dominic says:

    Oh!! Hoo kelvin
    If the best player of a just ended european competition is contesting for Uefa best,why should the award be given to a forward who helped his team win the league but couldn’t even become the top scorer of that same league. Ok if that then how about chelsea players who did the extreme to win the champions league. Gyamfi nkotompo ,sekondi.

  21. shegzy says:
