Kevin-Prince Boateng overlooked his current teammate when asked the question on Barca TV in a quick-fire Q&A feature, naming Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the greatest player he has ever played with.

The 32-year-old played alongside Ibrahimovic at AC Milan between 2010 and 2012, when the pair led Rossoneri to their most recent Serie A title in the 2010-11 season.

To be fair, the former Milan man has only made two appearances for Barca since moving to the club.

Boateng joined Barcelona in a surprising January loan move from Italian side Sassuolo. Upon his move to the Camp Nou, the Ghanian international described Messi as the best player "in this world and every world".
