In the return fixture in Milan Boateng scored his first ever goal against Barça.

Josep Guardiola’s team ran out 3-2 winners that night but the Rossoneri midfielder gave a glimpse of his talent with a wonderful strike for the Italian side.

That same season the two clubs came face to face again in the quarterfinals of the same competition.

A 0-0 draw in the first leg and a 3-1 win in the second saw Barça through with Boateng substituted in the second half of both encounters.

The two rivals met again in the Champions League the following season, 2012/13.

In the first leg of their last 16 tie, Barça went down 2-0 in the San Siro with Kevin-Prince Boateng again scoring a wonderful goal.

At Camp Nou on another famous European night, a Jordi Roura led Barça turned things around with a 4-0 win: a disappointment for Boateng but a delight for the blaugranes.

The two most recent meetings between Boateng and Barça came during his season with Las Palmas in 2016/17. Luis Enrique’s team came out on top on both occasions with a 5-0 win at home and a 4-1 win away in Gran Canaria, two games in which the new arrival played all 90 minutes.
