Bournemouth signing Jack Wilshere has enjoyed a dig at Barcelona's greats.

Wilshere, 29, conducted a Q&A online and was asked about playing Barca at Arsenal in 2011.

And he was quizzed on who he learned most from between Andres Iniesta, Xavi or Sergio Busquets.

Wilshere cheekily responded: "Couldn't learn much, they all spent the night in my pocket."

Arsenal famously won the Champions League last 16 first leg with late goals from Robin van Persie and Andrey Arshavin.

Wilshere started the game alongside Cesc Fabregas, Alex Song and Samir Nasri.

Despite the win, they were eventually knocked out in the second leg, losing 3-1, with Lionel Messi scoring twice.
