Pep always speaks fondly of United. Everyone knows he wanted to manage at Old Trafford, it's a shame city were more persistent. Manchester United would've been the perfect final piece along with Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Maybe he would have been perfect for Utd but he would have been sacked like LVG. Utd fans just do not seem to realize that the whole team needed rebuilding.

@Barfieman362 Learn the Meaning of goat it indicates one person in the football history and that's Messi. Messi is an absolute playmaker who score more than a number 9 and also one of the top dribbler of all time. Messi is different from all these football legends some of them are goal scorers, some of them are playmakers and some of them are dribblers but when it comes to Messi we can't understand Messi's dribbles,playmaking, Goal scoring which part is better
He scored 73 goals and got 28 assist in one season and hes so magical to watch. I think everyone knows deep down his the best of all time, you cant take it away from him
Messi is the best player of this generation and by far too. He is obviously someone very special to the sport. Once players like Ronaldo get a little older and loose their pace their value will greatly decline. But i can see Messi still pulling through balls with all the creativity and as the vision he has now will strengthen with time.
wow good call, i wasnt watching back then but its interesting that messi already had top class vision, now its indeed risen to a whole other level. and to be fair to ronaldo, he has done well to focus on his best skills in his latter years such as his finishing & heading, and bring something great to the team
Your comment proved true, but atleast for me it was always obvious. Players who over-rely on their physique and have an big diva ego never age gracefully.
This is 2011 people talking like this about leo and still he is calm and not taking these comments to his head and keep doing what he does and now he has won the world cup as well.
They weren't more aggressive. They were just more reckless and their timing on tackles was terrible compared to nowadays. And Messi gets rough treatment all the time and still stays on his feet more than most players would with the same treatment.
Since being appointed as manager of Barcelona in 2008, Pep Guardiola has won 13 trophies: two Champions League crowns, three La Liga trophies, one Copa del Rey, three Supercopas, two Uefa Super Cups and two Fifa Club World Cups. And you say he's not proven shut the fuck up,doesn't matter what team you manage that shits impressive!
George Best played in the roughest league in the world,with virtually no rules,playing on a ridiculously bumpy muddy pitch - and still mesmerized everyone.He did things nobody could imagine happening,he did things no-one else had the balls to do.Had he been with England,he's have won 2 world cups for them.Messi is one of the best,but he's not as good as these men with such raw flair, that carried teams single handedly.
Would of loved to see George best play in today's football a two footed messi, god knows how you would of stopped him with no tackling and perfect pitches. His balance was exceptional the perfect footballer. Unfortunately wrong time couldn't handle the adulation .
2 footed Messi lol? Messi is an absolute playmaker who score more than a number 9 and also one of the top dribbler of all time. George best was so good but Messi is different from all these football legends some of them are goal scorers, some of them are playmakers and some of them are dribblers but when it comes to Messi we can't understand Messi's dribbles,playmaking, Goal scoring which part is better
Messi Dont Deserve To Be Hated Because good and honest people dont deserve hate,,,they deserve Respect but if u cant respect dont thing good or bad....And His dribbling is amazing ..
I'm no psychologist but Ferguson's twitching fingers at the start has scared me a bit. The sign of a man who has been in power and knows how to keep it
think you make a great point, i dont watch a huge amount of spanish football but i watch every el classico, the outcome of them games is always ronaldo doesnt perform in them yet messi does, well simply in them games with barcelona possesion game messi gets so much of the ball compared to ronaldo, i would like to see some stats to get how much time on the ball they both get.
I would love to see you trying to communicate in a press conference in German, Catalan, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese... you would probably be at the 'ha ha' level as well.
best player PL, Riyad Marhez. and some people think that Messi is not able to play there. many great players in Europe didn't play at BPL, they played at Liga or Calcio Zidane, R9, Maradona, Cruijft, Romario, Ronaldinho,...
He is the greatest to ever live and maybe someday someone will be better then him but to compare him to pele zidane maradona doesn't make sense he breaks record like its nothing..he's amazing to watch and go through 5 players most of the time Unlike Ronaldo which I really respect
+Maslah abdi He still need to win a World cup to be the undisputed best player ever. Without it, there will always be a debate as Pele got 3 and Maradona singlehandedly won it by himself.
..I totally agree with you for me Ronaldo is one of the best strikers of all time...his speed and skill in front of the goal was and is unmatched..that guy was truly a phenom...!!!!
i am watching football since 1993, i think i watched enough football game and saw a lot of great players to say what i said about him.Alan shearer was a great striker, now the football is based solely on attack watch barcelona and real madrid most of the time when they scored 4 goals the other team scored at least 2 goals.you've got dani alves, marcelo, sergio ramos , who think they are strikers always going forward. in this kind of football, the preinjury R9 would kill them in counter attack
Agree with your post their kate, except Le Tissier was incredibly skillfull, the man could do things with a ball that Messi and Iniesta would be proud of
Sometimes I imagine what would have been like if Pep stayed in Barcelona for a few more years. He would have got the best out of the team and win more Champ League titles. We only won one more in 2015 but that team with Messi deserved more with better coach like Pep 😢

I am pretty sure, you're wrong. back then the teams let each other play. One team attacked then they went back to defense, It was an elegant 50 - 50 % game on both sides. classic !!! I am from HUNGARY and we lost to Germany in the World cup final at 1954 !
I dont think Messi could violate The premier league like how Cristiano done for years. Messi only blends into that Barca style which is why he has not won anything with Argentina which validates my point .Regardless i cannot take anything away from his greatness
It doesn't validate your point because there is a far better explanation behind why Argentina hasn't won anything for many years. Don't hold an individual responsible for a team sport, Messi plays brilliantly for Argentina, its Aguero, Higuain, Tevez, Di Maria, Lavezzi and all the rest who under perform. Messi was the only threat Argentina had during the WC. He carried them through most of the tournament, him and Mascherano. Messi has played premier league sides before and has more than proven himself against them. Remember last year when Barca played City in the Champions league? One of Messi's best individual performances in recent times.
I'm sorry but expecting Messi to carry the rest of the team is bullshit and doesn't at all reflect his ability. Why does he need to get something with Argentina particularly? THE REST OF THE DAMN TEAM NEEDS TO PERFORM AS WELL FOR HIM TO WIN ANYTHING. That doesn't stop him from playing brilliantly for Argentina, as we have seen on multiple occasions. It is such a stupid argument when the result of the team isn't determined by Messi alone. If its a team sport, then the single players individual brilliance is not at all determined by the teams result. Johan Cruyff never won anything for his country yet everyone always calls him one of the greatest the sports ever had.
i agree with you, he brings the barca style into international football to the point were the whole team is broken down since he is the glue to keep them together with not only the goals he scores but his contribution to the game, creating chances left right and center, but since the other Argentina cannot follow his almost perfect flow and cannot suit his needs, with Ronaldo he adjusts since he's never been a one club player like Messi who has only played in 1 system and has perfected it to the fullest extent and even throws in his own bit of magic, if Messi wasn't a one club player and had opportunities to travel to other leagues and receive a good amount of time to adjust hed do it, but since he never has we cannot judge him on that aspect
19 assists, but the majority of them are from regular passes to a player who is stood a meter away(with the odd good cross). Tell him to come back when he can pick out a pass through the eye of a needle leaving 5/6 defenders for dead in the process. You can't even begin to compare Ronaldo to Messi when it comes to playmaking abilities.
Thanks for the insight, I don't watch Barcelona much, because I'm primarily a fan of the english game. Whenever I watch Busquets he manages to piss me off, usually the diving does it. Next time I get the opportunity to watch Barca I'll keep an eye on him. Also Yaya is incredible, for me hes probably top 3 in the world in his position.
Sir Alex Ferguson -"best player in the world, Ronaldo. He could play for Milwall, QPR, Doncaster and score a Hattrick in the game, im not sure Messi could do it. I think Messi is a Barcelona player". The best manager of all time knows.
Ryan B Ronaldo started with Nacional da Madeira, at the island of madeira, in 2002 he came to our senior team over here at Sporting Lisbon, the guy wasn't just born in a golden crib and got to learn with ronaldinho and the likes. Still, what does top team even have to do with anything? The EPL is 10 times the physical challenge when compared to La Liga, he adjusted and did brilliant there too. Messi goes to EPL he ends up injured 5 months at a time like Aguero, he just can't impose himself in any type of footbal like someone like Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic can do.
+Tripnotik25 born in a golden crib? He had a growing hormone diffiecency. Also don't you think it's kind of funny how he signed with Barcelona at the age of 13?? And Ronaldo was playing on random clubs. Also Messi may not be big and strong but he won't get pushed off the ball as easy as you say.
+Tripnotik25 also he wouldn't ever leave barca and you say that like a bad thing. Barca found him and helped Pau the bills for his growth hormone. He feels like he owes them everything.
The standard back then was very good. Maybe not as good skill wise but in terms of technicality and especially physicality, it was much more demanding.
Rafael Nadal is a tennis player, he traveled the world. Pep lived and grew up in Barcelona probably learned English from TV and it's not something to laugh about
+Tiger SJK Guardiola has lived in Spain most of his life. In fact, he now speaks Spanish, German AND English. And he's not a fucking linguist, he's a coach. That's pretty impressive on its own.
Any player would be stopped if they had 3 or 4 players constantly crowding around them. That just goes to show how great he is that teams have to go to such measures to stop him.
Messi was still injured during that game and also therefore couldn't play the second. Puyol was also injured I bet if Madrid faced them and had Ronaldo and Ramos missing they also would have lost. Plus people forget they lost 4-0 in that first game.
Messi played first round = lose 4-0, after that he dident dare to play,he dident have balls, was afraid to play and lose agein then people like you who see him as god or messias coldent do Nothing. Lather when Messi com back he still lose to Bayern 2-0 LOL
No one is saying you aren't entitled to your opinion but I disagree. I don't think i've ever seen anyone who is as composed on the ball, graceful when moving at pace, or elegant in the fact that he makes everything so simple and does not need to be flashy to beat a player in the blink of an eye.
Messi could play in any generation, Ronaldo couldn't. Ronaldo relies on outrageous long shots, good crosses for headers and obviously tap ins/penalties lol. Messi is just a natural born talent that could dribble through 10 players and slot it in the corner of the net. I like Ronaldo a lot but there is no way he scores the type of long range goals that he does using a ball from the 50's. Messi wouldn't have to change his playing style at all to dominate in the 50's, Ronaldo would and I don't think he'd be able to play at the level that he plays at now. That's why Messi is always compared to legends while Ronaldo is always compared to Messi. I honestly don't care if Ronaldo fanboys disagree with me because true football fans know who's better of the 2. Btw I can't fucking stand Spanish football, but Messi is without a doubt the greatest footballer I've ever seen play with Ronaldo Nazario being a close second.
George Millar George Millar Absolutely atrocious analysis. During that era unathletic players (fed by "sub-par crosses") absolutely dominated the game because they had a nounce of positional awareness and timing. In fact in this era strikers and especially pouchers we're the most prolific than at any other period of the game up until now. Ronaldo would score two a damn game if he played in that era and have unbreakable records. Messi would be the one at a disadvantage if anything with an awkward heavy ball to dribble and hacking fouls/physical play well beyond what he's faced in his career. Also wtf at the long shot reference, Ronaldo scores a Max of 5-10 shots from outside the box a year, and they're usually driven balls from open play. That's about 100% easier to score with an archaic ball than any of Messi's curling efforts. Stop with the pseudo-knowledge/ analysis, you're just making yourself look dumb to people who know about what you claim to. And yes, Messi is the best player of all time, so you can't pull that card like all you uninformed super fans do when they're proved wrong.
Messi is not one of the best in the world,he cant compared with Maradona or Pele,becouze Messi have newer won WC-up and he play all the time in Barca, i have allweis sayd Maradona is the best, becouze he played in much diferend liga and won, and did won WC-up
You have to be in a good team to win WC. Its a matter of luck not skill. Argentina have good players but not the best team. Many great past players didn't even get into a world cup so your logic is just so flawed.
Aguero, di Maria, higuain, Messi,lavezzi, tevez,etc etc is not good players?? Is that what you are trying to say? Argentina have one of the best team in the world. But still Messi can not win. Thats mean he suck big donkey balls
Ewen if Argentina win WC that dosent mean it is becouze of Messi, but it is becouze of great player Argentina have like aguero,di Maria,tevez etc etc.. Maradona dident had so great team like Messi have now,and he still did won WC... Or you do not see the difference because you have Messis balls in front of your eyes
dude, he definitely would. i would safely say the Cristiano and or Gareth Bale are the two best ATHLETES to ever grace the pitch. Ronaldo has got it all. jumps high, powerful shot, foot work, really fast, and he is rediculously fit. dude could run for days. I love the old generation, but Ronaldo is a phenomenon.
This is not awkward in the slightest. The best manager in the world talking about the best player in the world. You all seem to forget messi has not even reached his peak yet and look what he has achieved already. By the time messi reaches thirty he will have set many new records. The next generation of footballers will look back on messi as the greatest footballer to ever hit this earth. I already think that now even though he hasn't reached his peak.
Its not confirmed but thats a possiblity. I heard that those two are pretty good friends as Sir Alex tried to sign Guardiola when he was a player for Man utd.
What he lacks in that department he makes up elsewhere e.g powerful shot, free kicks, great header of the ball. He does offer options. If he cannot be placed in the company of Messi and Maradona where would you place Ronaldo?
people don't realise that getting so many praises in your younger days and still not getting carried away and performing the best till the end without having any arrogance is crazy, Messi is one of a kind

THE REST OF THE DAMN TEAM NEEDS TO PERFORM AS WELL FOR HIM TO WIN ANYTHING. That doesn't stop him from playing brilliantly for Argentina, as we have seen on multiple occasions. It is such a stupid argument when the result of the team isn't determined by Messi alone. If its a team sport, then the single players individual brilliance is not at all determined by the teams result. Johan Cruyff never won anything for his country yet everyone always calls him one of the greatest the sports ever had.
i agree with you, he brings the barca style into international football to the point were the whole team is broken down since he is the glue to keep them together with not only the goals he scores but his contribution to the game, creating chances left right and center, but since the other Argentina cannot follow his almost perfect flow and cannot suit his needs, with Ronaldo he adjusts since he's never been a one club player like Messi who has only played in 1 system and has perfected it to the fullest extent and even throws in his own bit of magic, if Messi wasn't a one club player and had opportunities to travel to other leagues and receive a good amount of time to adjust hed do it, but since he never has we cannot judge him on that aspect
The greatest of all time. Thats it
Ronaldo = generational great.
Messi = all time great.
Ronaldo's an all time great. What kinda argument is that?
@@gianluigibuffon-ilsuperuom922he’s like top 7 all time but I don’t think he’s near the goat convo like ronaldo fans have him
19 assists, but the majority of them are from regular passes to a player who is stood a meter away(with the odd good cross). Tell him to come back when he can pick out a pass through the eye of a needle leaving 5/6 defenders for dead in the process. You can't even begin to compare Ronaldo to Messi when it comes to playmaking abilities.
And now Messi‘s considered the best playmaker of all time,
No one:
Pep: It’s impossible to coach him he just plays because he loves the game it’s not the mister it’s him
Thanks for the insight, I don't watch Barcelona much, because I'm primarily a fan of the english game. Whenever I watch Busquets he manages to piss me off, usually the diving does it. Next time I get the opportunity to watch Barca I'll keep an eye on him.
Also Yaya is incredible, for me hes probably top 3 in the world in his position.
how is he leading argentina if he is special in barca only messi is genius
Messi 😍
Sir Alex Ferguson -"best player in the world, Ronaldo. He could play for Milwall, QPR, Doncaster and score a Hattrick in the game, im not sure Messi could do it. I think Messi is a Barcelona player".
The best manager of all time knows.
Both man-u and real Madrid are/ where top teams when ronaldo played. So I don't understand how you can say that about ronaldo and not Messi.

Ronaldo started with Nacional da Madeira, at the island of madeira, in 2002 he came to our senior team over here at Sporting Lisbon, the guy wasn't just born in a golden crib and got to learn with ronaldinho and the likes. Still, what does top team even have to do with anything?
The EPL is 10 times the physical challenge when compared to La Liga, he adjusted and did brilliant there too. Messi goes to EPL he ends up injured 5 months at a time like Aguero, he just can't impose himself in any type of footbal like someone like Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic can do.
+Tripnotik25 born in a golden crib? He had a growing hormone diffiecency. Also don't you think it's kind of funny how he signed with Barcelona at the age of 13?? And Ronaldo was playing on random clubs. Also Messi may not be big and strong but he won't get pushed off the ball as easy as you say.
+Tripnotik25 also he wouldn't ever leave barca and you say that like a bad thing. Barca found him and helped Pau the bills for his growth hormone. He feels like he owes them everything.
+Tripnotik25 Messi obviously wants to be the best but is loyal. It's not that he's scared, he doesn't want to.
The standard back then was very good. Maybe not as good skill wise but in terms of technicality and especially physicality, it was much more demanding.
MESSI TO MAN UTD CONFORMED.
Yeah for sure
Pep rocking the stone Island!!
Guardiola, " %$%%$#@# so &&^*^* Messi *#&&@@* Alex **))())(( "
Even Rafael Nadal's English in his early career was better than this XD
Rafael Nadal is a tennis player, he traveled the world. Pep lived and grew up in Barcelona probably learned English from TV and it's not something to laugh about
+Tiger SJK Guardiola has lived in Spain most of his life. In fact, he now speaks Spanish, German AND English. And he's not a fucking linguist, he's a coach. That's pretty impressive on its own.
+CanonNikonMan241 plus he is loaded and managed to form a loving family . No cheating stories like the special needs one.
Any player would be stopped if they had 3 or 4 players constantly crowding around them. That just goes to show how great he is that teams have to go to such measures to stop him.
And 7up Barca,with your hero called Messi coldent do Nothing, Barca vs Bayern was total 18+ rape LOL
Messi was still injured during that game and also therefore couldn't play the second. Puyol was also injured I bet if Madrid faced them and had Ronaldo and Ramos missing they also would have lost. Plus people forget they lost 4-0 in that first game.
Messi played first round = lose 4-0, after that he dident dare to play,he dident have balls, was afraid to play and lose agein then people like you who see him as god or messias coldent do Nothing. Lather when Messi com back he still lose to Bayern 2-0 LOL
I cant waint to CL beggin Manchester city gona rape Barca so hard in the ass to they cry and scream FUCK BARCA
GoldenDawnNow Hey how'd that match end?
GoldenDawnNow Yeah mate, what happened? Did City rape barca so hard in the ass to they cry and scream?
Did anyone notice Pep's little smile at the end? Hahaha :D
No. Didn't win a world cup with better players than ronaldo had at international level.
Yet Ronaldo didn't do shit for them. He was benched. 😂
LmfaoYou He was playing injured at the last world cup, that's why.
Moment HD He brought them to the final with his goals, otherwise they'd have been out in the group/knockout stage. And that's the Euros not the WC?
Hola?
No one is saying you aren't entitled to your opinion but I disagree. I don't think i've ever seen anyone who is as composed on the ball, graceful when moving at pace, or elegant in the fact that he makes everything so simple and does not need to be flashy to beat a player in the blink of an eye.
Guardiola is so nervous...
why is sound so low in this video , I cant hear anything
Messi could play in any generation, Ronaldo couldn't. Ronaldo relies on outrageous long shots, good crosses for headers and obviously tap ins/penalties lol. Messi is just a natural born talent that could dribble through 10 players and slot it in the corner of the net. I like Ronaldo a lot but there is no way he scores the type of long range goals that he does using a ball from the 50's. Messi wouldn't have to change his playing style at all to dominate in the 50's, Ronaldo would and I don't think he'd be able to play at the level that he plays at now. That's why Messi is always compared to legends while Ronaldo is always compared to Messi. I honestly don't care if Ronaldo fanboys disagree with me because true football fans know who's better of the 2. Btw I can't fucking stand Spanish football, but Messi is without a doubt the greatest footballer I've ever seen play with Ronaldo Nazario being a close second.
George Millar TRUE WORDS.
George Millar George Millar Absolutely atrocious analysis. During that era unathletic players (fed by "sub-par crosses") absolutely dominated the game because they had a nounce of positional awareness and timing. In fact in this era strikers and especially pouchers we're the most prolific than at any other period of the game up until now. Ronaldo would score two a damn game if he played in that era and have unbreakable records. Messi would be the one at a disadvantage if anything with an awkward heavy ball to dribble and hacking fouls/physical play well beyond what he's faced in his career. Also wtf at the long shot reference, Ronaldo scores a Max of 5-10 shots from outside the box a year, and they're usually driven balls from open play. That's about 100% easier to score with an archaic ball than any of Messi's curling efforts. Stop with the pseudo-knowledge/ analysis, you're just making yourself look dumb to people who know about what you claim to. And yes, Messi is the best player of all time, so you can't pull that card like all you uninformed super fans do when they're proved wrong.
George Millar you have the worst logic ever, Jesus your football knowledge is poor.
I agree with Cole Miller except for the part where he says Messi is the best player of all time
George Millar wtf u on about u stupid fucking idiot its the other way. cr7 can play in generation not fucking messi u idiot
i want to see the whole video !!
Messi is not one of the best in the world,he cant compared with Maradona or Pele,becouze Messi have newer won WC-up and he play all the time in Barca, i have allweis sayd Maradona is the best, becouze he played in much diferend liga and won, and did won WC-up
ok
dafuq
You have to be in a good team to win WC. Its a matter of luck not skill. Argentina have good players but not the best team. Many great past players didn't even get into a world cup so your logic is just so flawed.
Aguero, di Maria, higuain, Messi,lavezzi, tevez,etc etc is not good players?? Is that what you are trying to say? Argentina have one of the best team in the world. But still Messi can not win. Thats mean he suck big donkey balls
Ewen if Argentina win WC that dosent mean it is becouze of Messi, but it is becouze of great player Argentina have like aguero,di Maria,tevez etc etc.. Maradona dident had so great team like Messi have now,and he still did won WC...
Or you do not see the difference because you have Messis balls in front of your eyes
wise words, not everyone is able to see the big pic here...
You're absolutely right. Done hating, now?
dude, he definitely would. i would safely say the Cristiano and or Gareth Bale are the two best ATHLETES to ever grace the pitch. Ronaldo has got it all. jumps high, powerful shot, foot work, really fast, and he is rediculously fit. dude could run for days. I love the old generation, but Ronaldo is a phenomenon.
Thanks :)
wow pep really nailed that question
with all due respect, i don't think its fair to compare loyalty to a winning team like barcelona against loyalty to a less successful team
This is not awkward in the slightest. The best manager in the world talking about the best player in the world. You all seem to forget messi has not even reached his peak yet and look what he has achieved already. By the time messi reaches thirty he will have set many new records. The next generation of footballers will look back on messi as the greatest footballer to ever hit this earth. I already think that now even though he hasn't reached his peak.
The best manager talking about the best player
The look on messi's face tells it all
Pep Guardiola rocking that Stone Island
Its not confirmed but thats a possiblity. I heard that those two are pretty good friends as Sir Alex tried to sign Guardiola when he was a player for Man utd.
not necessarily...in sports anything can happen... favorites and best teams dont always win !!
What is this event? And is the guy taking at around 01:30 the guy who does the Champions League draws?
What he lacks in that department he makes up elsewhere e.g powerful shot, free kicks, great header of the ball. He does offer options. If he cannot be placed in the company of Messi and Maradona where would you place Ronaldo?
i thinks his already the best player ever and grate video
