The response of the Spanish to Messi's comparison between Argentina and Barcelona

After the Argentine National Team beat Peru 2-0 with 2 goals from Lionel Messi, the Argentine captain spoke of the high level that the world champion team has been maintaining. Messi was asked if this Argentine National Team can be considered the best team in history, to which the 'Pulga' responded: “This team is impressive, it continues to grow game after game, it plays better and better. Comparing it with Barcelona, which is the best team in history, is a lot, but I think this team is very close, for what it has been showing, for what it does in all the games, for having won the Copa América and the World Cup," said the Inter Miami player.

“We have great players, no matter who plays, you don't notice it, because we have a very marked style, which identifies us a lot and we love doing it,” Leo Messi added. From Spain, where they are proud to have had that great team of Josep Guardiola, they did not take long to respond. “I think it is incomparable. It is incomparable because of the difference at the national team level and at the club level, where the competitions, the calendars and the selection of the footballers is very different," journalist Ivan San Antonio began by saying.

"It is incomparable to talk about one or the other. But I am left with one fact, which is that Messi has been present in the best team that a football club has ever produced in history, and in the best Argentine National Team in the history. And this is the common denominator: Lionel Messi. Therefore, whatever Messi says, no matter what," said the Diario Sport chronicler.

In Spain, many did not agree with Messi

One of the most resonant opinions is that of Jordi Costa, from Catalunya Radio, who said: "Messi's comparison between the current moment that the Argentine National Team is experiencing and his Barcelona, Guardiola's great Barcelona, I think it holds little ground from what football, but from here you can understand the sweet moment that the Argentine National Team is experiencing with the world title and with great football, it is a very well-rounded team. From that point of view the comparison is sustained, giving the fact that even Messi recognizes that that "It was the best team in history."
