Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso says he is proud to have shared the field with Barcelona ace Lionel Messi.

The combative midfielder spent about eight years in the Spanish Laliga playing for clubs like Elche, Villarreal, Espanyol, Las Palmas, Granada and Deportivo Alaves.

Wakaso left Spain after his stay with Deportivo Alaves to join Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Sunning in January 2020.

He was quizzed on why he is using a picture of him tackling Barcelona captain Lionel Messi on his Twitter handle.

The midfielder answered that “Proud bro, I have the same field with one of the world greatest.”
