Messi sends message to Pep

Argentina star Lionel Messi has described Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola as the "best coach in the world" after guiding the club to its first-ever Champions League crown last weekend.

City, who will discover their fixtures for the 2023/24 Premier League campaign when they are released at 9am on Thursday morning, defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul to become champions of Europe for the very first time. Victory in Turkey saw the club complete an incredible Treble after already laying their hands on the Premier League title and the FA Cup.

It means the Blues have now won every competition they have competed in since Guardiola took charge in 2016, meaning he will be hoping to now add the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup to their collection next season. On a personal note, City's triumph over Inter marked Guardiola's third Champions League crown in his managerial career after previously winning it at Barcelona in 2009 and 2011.

Guardiola is widely considered one of the greatest coaches of all time. And for Messi, who worked with him at Barcelona, the Catalan is the best in the business at this moment in time.
