In a recent interview with Infobae, FC Barcelona legend Lionel Messi made a surprising admission by stating that Real Madrid is currently the “best team in the world.” He pointed to their results as evidence of their supremacy, especially after conquering another Liga-Champions League double this year.
When discussing playing style, Messi revealed that he personally admires Guardiola’s Manchester City and believes that any team coached by Guardiola will play in a special way. He mentioned that Manchester City, in terms of playing style, is the best, but when it comes to results, Real Madrid has outperformed everyone.
Despite acknowledging Real Madrid’s success, Messi took an opportunity to praise Manchester City’s playing style. It is clear that he holds a high regard for Guardiola, as he still has a good relationship with the coach.
With Real Madrid’s impressive performances this year, it is no surprise that Messi believes they deserve to be considered the best team in the world. He even suggested that a madridista should win the upcoming Ballon D’Or, further solidifying his acknowledgment of their accomplishments.
