Munir El Haddadi has recalled a prank played on him by the team's star players during his early days at Barcelona. The young forward was excited to be in the same dressing room as stars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar. This was reported by Goal.com xabar.
When the 18-year-old Munir was looking for a place to sit at the team hotel, the experienced players pointed him toward a spot that appeared to be empty. Trusting his teammates' guidance, he sat down in that seat.
