Messi Is The Greatest Player In Football – Pep Guardiola

Manchester United manager and former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has said Argentinian star and recent world champion Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer of all time.

Guardiola confirmed in an interview seen on Sky Sports on Wednesday that Messi’s World Cup victory confirmed he is the greatest footballer of all time. It’s the last victory of his career,” he added.

Coaches admitted they would rate him the best even if he didn’t win the World Cup.

Guardiola also congratulated Argentinian player Julian Alvarez, who is also a Manchester City player, saying “one of us is a world champion” and congratulated fellow former City player Nicolas Otamendi. . “Everybody has an opinion, but no one can doubt that he’s there with the greatest player of all time. I often say he’s the best,” said the Man City manager. It would be difficult to understand.

“A player can appear and compete with what he has done in the last 50 years to 70 years, but the people who saw Pele or Di Stefano or Maradona, they can say their favourite.

“In their opinions they are sentimental, you know? But on the other side, if he (Messi) had not won the World Cup, my opinion about what he has done for world football, it wouldn’t have changed absolutely anything. Of course, for him it’s the final achievement of an incredible career.

“Do you know why Messi is the best player I’ve ever seen in my life, because he is a competitor. He’s an animal.”

Congratulating Alvarez, Guardiola said, “We are incredibly happy for him (Alvarez), congratulations to him and Nicolas Otamendi, and personally to Lionel Messi.

“For Argentina as a country, they are a well-deserved champion. For Julian, he is with us and we are delighted because he played a lot.

“His contribution was amazing for the team and the way they played. We have a world champion in our team.”
