Leo Messi Compares Argentina’s Albiceleste to Barça’s Great Team of 2009

According to Leo Messi, the Albiceleste is “very close” to Barça’s great team of 2009. We dare to compare.

There are no absolute truths in football, everything is a matter of debate. The different eras and styles of play, as well as the lack of audiovisual material until the 1970s, can cloud the perspective when discussing the great teams and players of history.

But there’s little denying that Pep Guardiola’s FC Barcelona were one of the greatest teams to ever grace the pitch.

For Lionel Messi, the current Argentina national team is “very close” to being the best team in history. The 36-year-old made it clear that the Barcelona team from 14 years ago was the ultimate.

Above all, they had significantly better individual games than Argentina in their World Cup triumph: Victor Valdés, Carles Puyol, Dani Alves, Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, Yaya Touré, Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto’o – and Messi. Argentina’s absolute top players can now be mentioned in the same breath: Julián Alvarez, Ángel Di María and Messi.

We dare to make a comparison that not only shows how much the captain is enjoying his time with the national team, but also highlights how great the Albiceleste have developed over the last five years under Lionel Scaloni. Can Lionel Scaloni’s Albiceleste keep up with Pep’s Barça?
