Lionel Messi speaks on the best team in the world currently. Messi thinks that Madrid is the best club in the world currently as they recently won the UEFA Champions League 2023/24 season. He feels that as per intensity, it is Man City and as per results, it is Real Madrid.
In a recent interview, football legend Lionel Messi shared his thoughts on the current hierarchy of world football, making a clear distinction between the best team by results and the best team by style of play. According to Messi, Real Madrid and Manchester City each hold a top spot, but for different reasons.
“Real Madrid are the best team in the world, they’ve won the Champions League,” Messi stated, acknowledging Real Madrid’s recent trophy in Europe’s most prestigious club competition. This victory, he suggests, takes their position at the top when considering achievements and results alone.
However, Messi added another perspective in his second line. “If you go by level of the game, I think Man City is the best.” This comment highlights Messi’s appreciation for the attractive, high-level football Manchester City consistently displays under the management of manager Pep Guardiola.
