Anyone can say that Real Madrid is the best team in the world, but let them do it Lionel Messi surprise. Even so, the Argentine did not tell lies and even justified his opinion well.
Being a living legend of Barcelona does not cloud the judgment of ‘La Pulga’, furthermore, there is no reason to fill his mouth with condescension and deny what is evident: the ‘merengue’ team currently rules.
“The best team is Real Madrid because they are the last Champions League champion. In the last one City won, but in the previous one it was them too. If we talk about results, it is Madrid,” commented the current Inter Miami footballer when asked which team he considers number one.
Leo Messi: “By results, Real Madrid is the best team in the world.”
“In volume of play, Manchester City”

In interview with Infobaethe ‘Best Player of All Time’ described his former Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola’s Manchester City as the team that plays the best, but for its success in the Champions League (two titles in the last three editions, including the one won on 1 June against Borussia Dortmund), in addition to the way they swept the League, there is nothing like the ‘white’ team.
“If you speak by results, it is Madrid, if you speak by game, I personally like Guardiola’s City and I think that any team where Guardiola is will be special because of his way of being. The way he trains and how he makes his teams play. At the level of play, for me, City is the best, as a result, Madrid,” insisted the footballer who played for the Barcelona Football Club from 2004 to 2021.
Perhaps many Barcelona fans are hurt by Messi’s words, but, at this moment, saying that Barcelona is the best team in the world would be a bigger lie than ensuring that the Real Madrid it is not.
