Pep Guardiola has always had a special connection with Lionel Messi, and his recent comments about the Argentine legend only reinforce Messi's unique influence on the game:
🎙 Pep Guardiola:
"I don't remember ever advising Leo; he plays without mistakes. Everything I want to tell him, he does without a word. At one point, I started asking myself, 'Do you want to tell me something?' Then I realized I’m the one who learns from him."
Guardiola went on to explain how his perspective shifted during his time at Barcelona: "I came to Barcelona thinking I would make Messi the best player, but things changed—he made me the best coach."
This candid reflection from Guardiola shows just how profound Messi's impact is—not only on the field but on everyone who works alongside him. As Guardiola sums it up:
Who is touched by Messi is destined for greatness.
Messi’s legacy continues to cement him as the greatest player in history. 👑🇦🇷🐐
