“How many Messi’s appear in the world of football 10,15?”- Barcelona’s legendary manager feels Lionel Messi is once in a born talent

Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi

Recently, Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland have drawn analogies between Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City. Lionel Messi became a global superstar while playing for Barcelona under Guardiola’s leadership, helping the team win numerous titles and awards alongside players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, and others.

Now that Guardiola has Haaland at his disposal, he has access to yet another attacking phenomenon. The Norwegian international, who was acquired from Borussia Dortmund this past summer, has made an immediate impact at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland has scored 19 goals in just 12 games in all competitions, in fact. His exploits while working for Guardiola eventually prompted parallels to Lionel Messi.

These remarks come just one week after the Man City manager was questioned about whether or not he anticipated the 22-year-old to score in every game like he did with Messi at Barcelona.

Guardiola had responded by saying: “Yes, the difference is that Haaland needs all his teammates, Messi did it alone.” The 35-year-old superstar is having a strong start to the season at Paris Saint-Germain and the former Barcelona manager has repeatedly stated that he believes Messi is the greatest footballer of all time.“

Guardiola believes that despite Haaland’s outstanding start to life as a Manchester City player, he still has a long way to go before he can be compared to Messi, who is expected to return to Barcelona in the summer of 2023.
