For Pep Guardiola, no one will ever come close to Leo Messi 🐐

The English press doesn't understand that Messi has the vision and passing of De Bruyne, the dribbling and agility of Bernado Silva and the flair and attack of Haaland, only improved for each situation in the facets of football. Messi is absurd and incredibly complete, no wonder he is the only person alive who is compared to Pelé.

Absolutely, nobody is near Messi. The most complete footballer we've ever seen

Best Goal scorer, Best playmaker and Best Dribbler. Lionel Andrés Messi, The Greatest this sport has ever seen and will ever see.

I will never understand why people care so much about the goal count. Sure it's important but what separates Messi from everyone else is HOW he scores them. Huuuuuuuuugee difference there between him Haaland or C.Ronaldo. It's not just that Messi manages to surpass everyone statistically, but also he can do it while being the best dribbler, passer, great vision, assists.....he encompasses the whole football not just one aspect of it. His impact in the gameplay is huge.

Haaland might score a lot but none of his goals makes me feel the same way as Messi’s goals. Messi makes you wonder how it’s humanly possible to score some of his goals. Literally does the impossible.

The thing about Messi is he reads the game like it's reflex. It's his innate ability, you can't train or drill that, it's a gift.

Pep knows what his talking about...No one can be compare to Messi..

I think Messi playing in Miami is great indication what kind of player he is. I can't imagine any other player raising the whole team to another level.

For the context , recently i was watching matches of the younger leo of the age about 22-23 years when he won the UCL with barca and i was watching some league games as well and whenever he scored the camp nou was bowing down like we see right now with the chants of messi messi messi and he was just 22-23 years old and then I watched his entry to the stadium when they were celebrating the laliga win and the UCL win at the camp nou after the season end when he can the whole camp nou(98k+ people) were just bowing down and chanting messi messi I was like what the hell we don't see that response to mbappe , haaland or vini when they are at the same age, I am not kidding you can watch the games the whole camp nou was legit bowing and chanting a 22 year old guy's name, I mean that is a different gravy all together which is very hard to match so just imagine in week by week basis how he would have been. Messi is just way way clear of everyone.

I love the respect that Guardiola has for Leo messi and it's a fact messi is incomparable. God wanted to play football but delegated the task to the little boy from Rosario ❤

I love how he says, Messi isn’t just good at making goals, he’s the best at passing,dribbling defending, making plays and seeing the game. I’m glad he’s saying yeah, he’s making goals but you can’t compare anyone to such a complete player like Messi.

Messi cannot be compared to any other player ...its impossible !! He has a God given talent ...and it was given to him in a way that no one could copy him ....

To surpass Messi as an individual player is impossible

Messi is the most complete player ever seen

Messi is a once in a lifetime footballer. Like R9 , PELE and Maradona his stats cant be put in brackets because of how consistent he has been and how dominant he has been in every aspect of his play. Messi wasn't just the best goal scorer, he was the best passer, assist provider, dribbler , false 9 , on the midfield or on the wing. He was always the best in every position you put him in and even now at 35 he is competing whit players 12-15 year younger than him like Haaland , Mbappe and Vinisius and is providing more Goals + Assists than all of them in a year after wining the World Cup. Pep is absolutely correct in everything he says. It does no one any favors to be compared whit the GOAT especially at 20.

He's seen Messi first hand. He probably seen crazy things in training from messi

Messi could go 1 vs 5 and still have a possibility of a goal. That's the difference.

For anybody who watch football for a long time they will tell you Halaand is no where near Messi level. Messi is just genius he make you wonder how did he do what he does after the game.

This guy is a genius. Period. What a winner. What a manager

Messi plays both psychological, emotional, and physical football. He aim is to enjoy the game while showing the defense he is not afraid of them, and is ever ready go against them any time. Once he breaks their spirit then he goes for the goal. He is not selfish as he wants every player in his time participate in the game by providing opportunities. He is a genius who also carries the responsibilities of the team in his shoulder. He is fearless, humble, plays with humility, says very little in the field. He realizes the power of silence.

There you have it! Messi, "the most complete player", the GOAT!

MESSI PLEASE COME TO MAN CITY, WE THE CITIZENS WILL RESPECT YOU AND THE MANAGER ALSO WANTS YOU TO COME MANCHESTER CITY 💙

He knows Messi so much, he'd seen him close for so many years

You can't corrupt the man. He is not ashamed of the truth

God of football MESSI, real GOAT !

And imagine how many goals messi could have scored if he was selfish

Messi has completed football. No question about that 💞

These questions are too repetitive, I feel you Pep 🥱

He knows how blessed he was to have coached the greatest of all time.... he knows that is not gonna happen with other players...

Messi's humility makes him unique

Messi is an alian, no present or even the previous legends can compair to what Messi has done in the field of play. Messi is a GOAT, this is the man who turned CR7 an average player. Messi's signature be engraved or erect his statue in every soccer stadium in the whole world. No one like small big hearted Messi in this world. Thank you Messi for having made us enjoy & love the game,

When Man first went to the moon, Pep was already there waiting.

Messi is not a just a player of football he is also a creator 😅

Before comparing Haaland to Messi, Haaland needs to break Messi’s calendar record of 91 goals and at least Halland needs to win 1 Balon D’Or

The day Halland would score 91 goals a season, I would rest my case. I love Halland and I am enjoying watching this kid play. Halland is a big boy , but Messi is bigger 😅.

"...Norway, it's Vikings" 😂 got to love Guardiola

Must be a lot pressure under Pep’s management. He is too smart, too fast, too thinking forward.

No se pueden comparar. Pero el Manchester de Halaan.obtuvo 3 títulos. En Europa. Pero en una de esas finales Halaan no consiguió anotar en 180 minutos ( partido de ida y vuelta ) Y Julian Alvarez entró en el minuto 88 y convirtió un golazo factura de presión y juego propio: ES DECIR QUE EN 3 MUNUTOS HIZO LO que HAALLAN NO HIZO EN 2 partidos....180'..... MESSI ES INCOMPARABLE

It is so easy to compare the two players, cause they are at different corners. Messi is game changer and affects the game to the extreme. He is midfielder and attacker. He makes the game easy for his team mate . He is creative and selfgoal maker. Yes Haaland also fast and makes gaol from the penality area . Haaland is seen when he scores but not much when he plays. Messi's playstyle appeals all th fans . So Messi means the game. Man can compare Messi only with Maradona and Pele till today.

Messi is very exceptional

Haaland is a very good Striker, but comparing him to Messi is exaggerated.

The most multidimensional player ever. Messi can play false 9, RW, CAM, and sometimes CF. A playmaker that can score like a striker if he pleases.

Pep once killed two birds with one stone.

I cant even think of such comparison, it is only if one can get 4 Balon dor before the age of 19, 90 goals in a year, highest number of goals plus assists overall per game, highest goal creation in History, Highest accuracy ball target and world cup, Golden Boot then he can be compared to Messi

Pep is GOAT himself. He has changed global football since his coming as coach in Barca and keep doing so in the following countries and clubs. Bayern Munich did win Champions League, but the country won World Cup titile with the players dominated by Bayern Munich side and played tiki taka so incredibly perfect. English football has changed alot since his coming to Manchester City. The club is immediately dominant and win every year title. Premier league is also getting stronger and dominates European and global football. Messi is likewise. He is GOAT for what he has shown in every game he plays. Despite winning and losses, his statistic in every game is second to none. Everytime he touches the ball is joy for there is always something that mesmerising and surprising. For me, title is a matter of team works. When Messi played for Barca with Pep as the coach, titles followed them tiredlessly. Messi was incredible, and the team support his brilliant with good football shows. Things got different when Messi played for the national team. The coaches were unable to build a good team. Messi was isolated with insufficient balls in his feet. Argentian players spent most of the time played in their own half. So Messi has lost the world cups, mostly due to he played with bad teams, though they consisted of many famous players. By the way, though he was playing with bad teams, Messi has got Argentina to the World Cup Final in Brazil. He also brought Argentina four times to the final of Copa America. Was there anyone with that achievements. Every time, every year in every cup, when Messi is around, he is always the favorite to lift the trophy. That's no denial. Is or was there a player so much expected to win? That's how the world of football seen Messi as a footballer. He is the best and always be. Even at his present age, he is always deemed as the best still.

Form is temporary, Class is different pep understands this very well..

Like the only 2 players that comes to mind at this point in time other than Vini is/was Salah and Hazard but they aren't even quarter of Messi's potentials. Messi is the full package, his weaknesses made him special which is his height and weak foot.

LEO MESSI KING OF KINGS GOD OF GODS SIMPLE THE GREATEST FOTBALL PLAYER IN THE HISTORY NO ONE EVER GONNA COME NEAR HIM HE IS AN ALIEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When Pep makes a grammar mistake the dictionary gets edited.

Just a couple of weeks ago I saw Mbappe compared to Messi, and I jumped on comment right away this is what I said " until Mbappe get 7 balloon d'or s then we can come back here for the debate." As far as I'm concerned that ship is already sailed. By no means that I disrespect these guys. These guys are great I love to watch them play, and I hope that they will achieve nothing but the best.

As a norwegian, I completely agree. I can't even comprehend how someone can compare that alien to Ronaldo.

Messi sees the game from the above and the rest just see the game from the field. That is a huge difference and advantage for a football player.

Pep's bald is so shiny the sun starts to cry.

The only manager that put other players above his

Messi should've gone to Manchester City, not PSG, even if it meant lower wages

He is right because Messi is the Chosen One from God with the magic on the field! Maybe just maybe just maybe we will experience a another gifted player (with naturally skills like Messi) in this lifetime, we have to be predicated that we experienced him in our lifetime, but there is a different between players that work hard to be the greatest and a player like Messi that is gifted by the universum and God!!! But he is also human so he also have his low moments but he will come back stronger out the darkness moments!!! People need to acknowledge this and don't envy a gifted player because he is a goat and genius....

Well said Messi has won everything in Football History... Best ever happens In Footworld world . ❤❤❤

Thank you so much, u will always bi best choice

Best manager in the world

Happy new year has to ask Pep permission to be happy.

TBH it's an insult to even try to think to compare any player with Leo Messi... Messi is the most complete player that God will ever give to the immortals.

On this statement, everyone can see why you are one of the greatest trainers in the world ❤❤❤!

Pep just loves Messi.

even if haaland scored 75 goals in a season, messi is still better. Haaland is a tap in player, he is great as a striker probably will be the best ever if he keeps this way, but messi is a different animal. the only player even remotely comparable to messi is cr7 and still messi comes on top

I wonder how people can compare a Legend to a young lad. Thats disrespectful

Best judge by great coach he give a result acording to ability

Pep is the greatest modern philosopher, up there with Marcus Aurelius, Nietche, Krishnamurti, Bruce Lee, Alan Wats, Aristotle, Galileo, Leonardo da Vinci, Hercules, Zeus, poseidon, Hades and Kratos.

Messi is uncomparable

Let those who complain keeps complaining....almost all the legends who conquered football has always chose Messi over any other ... Cause they know how football is actually played 🔥❤️..just some few who coached Ronaldo n some out of pure jealous chose other over Messi ..but deep down they know ...no one even come close to Messi ..

I love the sincerity of Pep!

The media narrative wants so badly for Messi's time to be done so they can focus on the new long term faces of football. Nobody will compare to Messi's ability and what he's done for the sport. For the media to try and give Mbappe or Halaand the same stature of praise that Messi was and is still given is ignorant. I understand it though, when Messi goes, a huge chunk of the football world will go with him and the media is scared.

Love for messi to this guy is unquestionably

Watch out when Pep is that relaxed. Things were obviously very good behind the scenes.

Messi scores with art, whereas Haland with Martial art😀

Messi the greatest ever it’s not even a debate 😈🐐

well , both of them score(d) lots of goals , but let's look , say , at headers , so 'we' see clearly that Messi & Haaland are totally different kind of players ; anyway , it's a very "strange" thing of 'our' times to always look for some GOATS : it's way better to just enjoy the individuals as they are & cherish their abilities ... !!!

Messi should win the Ballon d’Or! He is the best player in the world and his team just won the World Cup 2022! 🐐

True of you Pep..Noone will come close to messi 🐐

Messi is the complete player where as haland has only goal scoring performance no dribbling no ball control no game mentality

HOW good Is this Man , Mr perfect Pep Guardiolo ❤❤❤ With all due respect to Sir Alex Furgson, I have heard a lot about him and his Management skills at elite level and His records are Amazing but at least since my Time as Football fan , pep Guardiola is the best Manager in the world even if he fails to Win Cl my opinion won't change, but yes if he wins the Treble that will Automatically stamp his authority at the top

After many decades we might have a genius like Messi.

When will people realize that. Scoring goals alone doesn't make you the best Messi is a complete player.

Messi is a born talent while others are trained

I agree to pep messi is the complete player

Let’s see haalaand score 50 goals a season for a decade win 3 champions league score nearly 800 goals win a Euro and a World Cup then we can start the debate

Well said... do not compare

If you are comparing Haalan to Messi, you don't know football.

Pep is so bald, bald wants to be Pep

Messi is the best player ever, Pep is the best manager ever....period..no argument...no competition.

Pep is absolutely right, Messi is everything and only one in the world❤❤❤

Thats the apt description- the most complete player ever seen.. there can b great goal scorers etc but complete very very rare..

Messi: Goals, assists, dribbles, penalties, freekicks, key passes, long balls, through balls, leader Haaland: goals, penalties

When Pep scores while offside the goal still counts

CR7 [Hardworker] LEO [Talent+Hardworker+Passionate+Goat]]

Mess does not need an introduction when he is playing.

He’s right. They’re two different players ffs

For sure Halland is good but trying to compare him so early with Messi makes no sense, even in goal scoring Messi is better, he has the Guinness World Record as top goalscorer for club (91 goals) during the 2012 calendar year, Lionel Messi put up an astonishing 91 goals, shattering the old record of 85 that was held by Gerd Muller (Bayern Munich, Germany - 1972). Over a total of 69 games, Messi scored 79 for Barcelona and another 12 for his home country of Argentina., ha has also the most goals in LaLiga season (50 goals), FC Barcelona all-time top goalscorer (beating FCB star players like Romario, Ronaldo, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Cruyff, Kluivert, Etoo, Villa, Quini, Henry, Neymar, Suarez, etc...). So far, there is no one like Messi in football history. He is the GOAT.

The problem with today's world. Every one is obsessed with goals forgetting about the effort of all other players involved behind that goal. Ppo hv really forgotten why football is called the beautiful game. Messi is all of it. Not Mr tap in halland

I have no idea why people compare Ronaldo, Haaland or anyone else to the MessiAH. Messi is head and shoulders above any other player to have ever played the game.
