Young AC Milan forward Bojan Krkic insists that revenge will not be on his mind when the Rossoneri face Barcelona in the Champions League on the 20th of February.
The former Barcelona starlet is eager to make an impact when the two European giants meet next week and he is desperate to score against the Blaugrana in order to see Milan qualify.
“I have wanted to play and score against Barca,” the 22-year-old told RAC1. “But not out of anger or bitterness, which I do not have, but in order to help my teammates.
“Would it be a point of vindication? Yeah, but for the importance of the game.”
Bojan left Barcelona for pastures new as he arrived in Roma on a two-year loan, before joining Milan at the end of last season.
“To not play in the 2011 Champions League Final at Wembley really hurt me and I did not get a chance,” he added.
“It is difficult for anyone to perform if you do not have continuity and you do not feel important.
“At Barca I was important in key moments at an historic club, but I did not play competitively and for tactical decisions.
“Despite everything I am proud of my time at the club, and I showed that I can play at a very high level. Will I go back? It is my home, but in football wishes do not count.”
It remains unclear whether the Italian giants will make Bojan’s loan deal a permanent one at the end of the season.
“I need to be a regular starter to be owned by Milan or any other team,” he explained. “That is why next year I hope that I will be owned by a team that is committed to me, in order for me to be important.”
The youngster needs to be given a firm chance if he is to realise his undoubted potential. He has appeared 16 times in the current campaign but has only netted on three occasions.
