“There are extraordinary coaches, but Pep has something different,” commented the number 10, considered one of the greats in Barcelona's history.

Messi recalled that his peak at the Catalan team, between 2008 and 2012, happened under Guardiola's command, citing the historic classic against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu, when he began to play as a false 9 – a change that, according to him, transformed the history of the club, the coach, and his own career.

The number 10 also praised Guardiola's impact at Bayern Munich and Manchester City, stating that he changed the way of playing in Germany and England, regardless of the titles.
