Miralem Pjanic is one of the few footballers who have had the opportunity to play in the same team with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Barcelona midfielder returns to Turin, where he will play against Juventus, a team he was part of during 2016-2020.
“I am very happy to be here, and the return is very emotional for me. I spent four years here and I have positive memories, I am glad to be here and I will see the people I have worked with, I am glad to see the team and all the staff, but now I am here to prepare for a very difficult match against a difficult opponent who wants the first place in the group stage, just like us, so we want to be prepared.”, said the Bosnian initially in the press conference.
Pjanic is on the list of 14 players who have had the good fortune to play in the same team with both Messi and Ronaldo.
“I talked to Messi about the years I spent here, I said good words for the club and the president. Nothing more than that, he is well informed, he knows Juventus very well.”
“It is very special that I have been given the opportunity to play with both Messi and Ronaldo, they are an absolute phenomenon, it is a great thing to work with them.”
“I will tell my grandchildren that they are among the best footballers of all time and that I have played with both, not many players have done that.”
“Messi knows (Ronaldo’s) situation well, he follows the news, he is preparing for the match.”, Pjanic further stated.
