At this point, it is not a mystery that Messi is one of the greatest players of all time. And the qualifier match against Peru was the biggest sign of that. Leo and his boys made sure to prove their dominance once again after defeating Peru 2-0. With this win, Messi broke his fellow teammate and friend Suarez’s record.
Pep Guardiola’s FC Barcelona was one of the giants of the league. Not only the team was good at winning accolades. But also managed to dominate the hearts and minds of their opponents. Sports analysts certainly claim that the phase was one of the finest phases for Barcelona. And now, years later, Messi compared his current international team with the Messi era Barcelona.
La Pulga
After winning 2-0 against Peru, Messi went for an interview and exclusively shared a statement claiming, “This team is playing better and better. The Barcelona (under Pep Guardiola) that I had to play was the best team in history, that’s a lot, no? But this one is very close I think for what we have been showing, for having become the champion of Copa America and the World, and that has a lot of merit.”
Messi further added, “We have great players. No matter who we play against, it is not noticeable because we have a very marked game that identifies us a lot. We like to do it. We hope to continue down this path.” This has certainly caught the attention of the fans, and they agree. Lionel ‘La Pulga’ Messi has transcended from a player to the status of god for his fans. And therefore, it is obvious why Argentina as a team is burdened with a lot of expectations. And they come through every time.
