Argentina captain and Inter Miami star forward Lionel Messi has lauded English Premier League champions Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola—under whom he played at Barcelona.
"Pep Guardiola is from another world. He’s different, he sees things no one else does. He changed football. Everyone wanted to copy us [i.e. Barca]. In fact, he kind of did harm to football because people tried to play like our Barcelona. But we were a special team… that midfield Xavi, Busi, Iniesta, everything was perfect between players and coach,” Messi said, Sportskeeda reports.
Guardiola coached Barca from 2008 to 2012, winning three Spanish La Liga titles and a Super Cup, two Copa del Reys, two UEFA Champions Leagues, and two UEFA Super Cups.
