Lionel Messi, the best player of all time – Pep Guardiola

Guardiola says that even if he hadn’t won the World Cup, Messi would still be the greatest player of all time.

Lionel finished the competition in Qatar with 7 goals, two of them in the grand final against France (2-2 after 90 minutes, 3-3 after 120 minutes and 4-2 for Argentina on penalties).

“Everyone has their own opinion, but no one can doubt that he is the greatest of all time.

For me he is the best, it’s hard to understand that a player can compete with what he has done. People who have seen Pele, Alfredo Di Stefano or Diego Maradona… opinions are sentimental, but on the other hand, if he (not Messi) had not won the World Cup, my opinion would not have changed” – Pep Guardiola.
