While Messi praised Guardiola, the betrayal he wanted to do with Cristiano Ronaldo

Lionel Messi is focused on the World Cup in Qatar, where the Argentine team will face Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland in the group stage. However, he took the opportunity to talk about his time at FC Barcelona and praised Pep Guardiola, with whom he won two Champions Leagues. Despite Leo's idolatry, the Spanish coach wanted to betray him a season ago.

The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) coincided with Pep Guardiola, Julián Álvarez's current coach at Manchester City, between 2008 and 2012. They won absolutely everything together and turned the Catalans into one of the best teams in all of history, if not the best one of them all.

Although the Spaniard has stated on more than one occasion that Lionel Messi was the most outstanding player he managed, he was close to giving him a low blow. In fact, it only did not happen because of another huge former manager, not because of Guardiola.

It turns out that Cristiano Ronaldo released new statements and remembered when he was close to signing for Manchester City. Before his return to United, the 'Bug' almost signed with the 'citizens'. However, Sir Alex Ferguson convinced him to sign for the 'red devils', where he is not having a good time in the current season and criticized the owners, DT and fans.

Cristiano's confession involving Pep Guardiola:

In dialogue with Piers Morgan, CR7 referred to the possibility he had of coming to City and what Guardiola said after the signing was frustrated: "Guardiola said he worked hard to sign me, but my heart was key in the decision, just like Sir Alex Ferguson”. The Spaniard was close to managing Lionel Messi's main sports rival.
