Football: for Messi, the current level of Argentina is “very close” to that of Guardiola’s Barça

The muscle injury that has handicapped Lionel Messi in recent weeks is already a long way off. The former PSG striker scored a new double with Argentina on Tuesday evening during the world champions' trip to Peru (0-2). A success which allows Messi's gang to take off in the South American qualifying zone for the 2026 World Cup. At the end of the meeting, the seven-time Ballon d'Or (soon eight-time?) delivered his analysis on the current level of the Argentine selection, which he considers close to that of FC Barcelona in the heyday.

“This team is impressive, it continues to grow, it plays better and better,” the Inter Miami striker told Tyc Sports after the match. “Comparing yourself to Barcelona, ​​which is the best team in history, is a lot, but I think we are very close thanks to what we have demonstrated, to have become champions of America and the world.”

“We have great players,” added the former Barcelona player. “No matter who plays, it doesn't show because there is a very marked style, which identifies us a lot and which we like. We hope to continue on this path.”

Messi is most likely referring to the great Barça coached by Pep Guardiola between 2008 and 2012. The team that won three La Liga and two Champions Leagues and which many consider to be the best team in history.

“Since the Copa América won in Brazil (in 2021), we have been liberated and have grown,” concluded La Pulga. “And after winning the World Cup, much more. The team is very confident, very relaxed. No matter where she plays, she is always the protagonist and wants the ball. We feel very good and we like to play this way.

Argentina, which remains on 14 wins in a row and 8 matches without conceding a single goal, will try to continue its crazy series of victories on November 17 against Uruguay.
