'Never give up' - Latif Blessing ecstatic after meeting idol Iniesta

Ghana forward Latif Blessing appears to be over the moon after sharing a pitch with Spanish football icon Andres Iniesta.

Blessing and Iniesta were on opposite sides when his Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) thrashed Iniesta's Vissel Kobe 4-1 on February 1.

A crowd of 18,100 was treated to a show by LAFC captain Carlos Vela, who scored two top-notch first-half goals in a 4-1 win over J.League side Vissel Kobe which also featured Lukas Podolski and former MLS star David Villa.

Blessing, 22, who came on as a substitute during the tie took to social media pages a week later to recall his humble beginnings in Ghana.
