Beating Barca And Madrid To Win The La Liga Was Special – Turan

Former Barcelona midfielder, Arda Turan has come out to say that Lionel Messi is the best player he has ever played with but Iniesta was something else while he played too.

Turan revealed that Andreas’ attitude and commandment of the ball was definitely worthy of admiration.

According to him, he joined Barca when he left Atleti because he wanted to play for a club where he would feel happy since he really wished to play with Messi and co.

He added that beating Messi’s Barcelona and Ronaldo’s Real Madrid to win the La Liga at Atletico was the most special moment of my career.

His words, “There’s no need to talk about Messi. He’s the best player I have played with,”

“But Iniesta was something else. His attitude, his commandment of the ball makes you admire him.”

On his career, “I have made mistakes, of course. But it’s not like I’m done,” he said.

“When I start playing football three months from now I can be better than everyone else after three or four games. I can still be like the old Arda Turan.

“I want to play football for a club where I can feel happy. I can still play football at a high level for four or five years.

“I have a contract with Barcelona. I wanted it to be the case until the end of the season. This is what I wanted.”

“With Atletico Madrid, we have beaten Messi’s Barcelona and Ronaldo’s Real Madrid to the title. That was the most special moment of my career,”

“Winning La Liga was amazing. Winning Copa del Rey in Santiago Bernabeu also has a special place in my heart. Copa del Rey finals are always special.

“Diego Simeone and Fatih Terim are special managers. Terim never gives up, he’s very motivated and has leadership skills. Simeone is tactically very good, he’s energetic, he keeps you awake at all times. I have worked with many talented coaches but Terim and Simeone are a step ahead of the rest.”
