Pep Guardiola is seemingly unable to stop praising Messi. The Man City manager won absolutely everything while managing Barcelona and the Argentinian magician was the star of the show.

In his own words, Messi made him a better manager, he is indisputably the greatest player, the most complete player, the most decisive player, has perfected many areas of the game and his is simply the best.

So much so that, Guardiola can be caught glazing Messi for 14 minutes straight. Always adamant about his opinion, even putting other great player down such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Erling Haaland or Kevin De Bruyne in order to make the statement clear that Messi is on his own level.
