Messi: Real Madrid Is The Best Team In The World

FC Barcelona legend Lionel Messi talked in an interview with Infobae where he admitted that Real Madrid is the “best team in the world right now.”

“If we’re talking results, it’s Real Madrid. If we’re talking playing style, I personally like Guardiola’s Manchester City a lot and I believe that every team he coaches will be special. Playing style, Manchester City are the best. Results, it’s Real Madrid,” he explained.

Messi’s statement shouldn’t be surprising considering that Real Madrid conquered another Liga-Champions League double this year. Of course he went out of his way to suggest that Manchester City play better football than Real Madrid, but that’s expected knowing that he still has a good relationship with Pep Guardiola.

Real Madrid have indeed been the world’s best team this year and one madridista should definitely win the upcoming Ballon D’Or, so Messi is right.
