Pemain Idola Turan di Barcelona Bukan Messi
"Aku selalu berkata sama bahwa Messi adalah pemain terbaik dunia, tidak hanya untuk saat ini, tetapi sepanjang sejarah. Cristano adalah pemain spesial, tetapi tidak akan ada pemain seperti Messi," ujar Turan.
"Namun, pemain idolaku di Barcelona adalah Iniesta," lanjut mantan pemain Atletico Madrid tersebut.
Barcelona resmi mendapatkan Turan dari Atletico Madrid pada Senin (6/7/2015). Pemain asal Turki itu dibeli dengan banderol 34 juta euro plus tambahan bonus yang bisa mencapai tujuh juta euro.

Well, it's not Messi, and it's not Neymar. Nor is it Luis Suárez. Barcelona's new signing chose as the player he most admires a man that plays in midfield and goes by the name of Andrés Iniesta.
Turan also gave his take on the legendary rivalry between Messi and CR7: "I have always said the same - Messi is the best in the world, not just now, but in all history. Cristiano Ronaldo is special, but there will never be anyone like Messi. However, my idol is Iniesta."
The Turk also touched on the strained relationship that he had with Neymar when he was with the 'Rojiblancos'. Obviously, now that they play for the same team, it's all water under the bridge. "The run-in that we had is now long since forgotten."
Finally, he had words of thanks to his ex-club: "If I am here it is because of Atlético. I have always liked suffering to win; I never felt tired as an Atlético player. Now, I am happy to play in the best team in the world."
