West Ham striker Michail Antonio has labeled ex-Swansea winger Modou Barrow as the most challenging rival he’s encountered. Although Antonio is primarily recognized as a forward at West Ham, he originally played as a right-back during earlier periods in his career.

Antonio has faced top-tier players like Eden Hazard and Marcus Rashford while playing at right-back, but he claims that his toughest challenge came from a winger who formerly played for Swansea. “No one will recognize his name, it’s Mo Barrow.” While he was at Swansea, I had taken note of Martial, Hazard, and Rashford. “I had noted all these individuals, but the one who hurt me the most was Mo Barrow,” Antonio shared on Adebayo Akinfenwa’s Beast Mode On podcast. “Dude, they won 3-0, and he scored all the goals.” “Bang, passes through my legs for an assist.” I was just standing there thinking, ‘Wow, he really has me.’ I was taken aback. He shattered my spirit.
