Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has named Lionel Messi as the greatest player of all time.
Guardiola stated this during an interview with ESPN Argentina.
According to him, Messi gave Barcelona the “boom” in the last 12 years.
Guardiola said: “He’s the greatest player of all time.
“In the last 12 years or so, Barcelona had a “boom” and that wouldn’t have been possible without him.
