Al-Ahli midfielder Kessie: I miss Barcelona fans

Al-Ahli midfielder Franck Kessie admits he misses Barcelona fans.

Kessie left Barca for the Saudi Pro League over the summer.

He told E-Noticies: “I miss the warmth of the Camp Nou and the support of the fans. Playing in a stadium like the Camp Nou, which is a stadium with 100,000 seats… There aren't many like that in Europe.

“I have very good memories of my time at Barcelona. I won two titles in my first year, the Super Cup and the League. I also have very good memories of the city, the coaching staff and the great players I met with. I follow all their games and try to give them my support from a distance.

“I think Barcelona have a good team with great players. There are young players who are gaining strength, like Lamine Yamal. Today, Barcelona have a great team and great players. I'm confident that this season they will win a title again."
