legend of Barcelona Lionel Messi he admitted that the arch rivals Real Madrid they are the best team in the world at the moment, after their Champions League and League double this season. The scary thing for Cules is that they signed the striker joined by many as the generational heir to Messi's throne.
Kylian Mbappe will arrive at a team that has already won everything under Carlo Ancelotti. Speaking to Infobae, Messi grudgingly admitted that Los Blancos were the best around, although he noted that they did not play the best football in his eyes.
“If you go by results, it's Madrid. If you go by how they play, I personally like Guardiola's city and I think that any team where Guardiola is will be special because of the way he is, the way the coach and the way to play his teams. For me, City is the best. For results, explained Messi to Infobae, as reported by Brand.
Messi also revealed that he still keeps in touch with Neymar Junior, sharing an active group chat with him and his Inter Miami team-mate Luis Suarez, but has not seen the Brazilian join them any time soon. However, he has not closed the door on going to the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in his current home.
“It depends on how I feel, how I am physically and being realistic with myself. And knowing if I am up to the task of being able to compete and help the teammates next to me.”
When the next World Cup comes, Messi will be 38 years old, and it can be called a day. It's not that far, but after this summer's Copa America, Messi will be sidelined for the most part until that tournament.
