Best team in recent years?Messi:'Man City stronger,Real Madrid most successful!'

Shri0001

Real Madrid and Manchester City can be considered the two strongest teams in recent years, but which team is truly superior? Let's hear Messi's perspective.

Firstly, both Real Madrid and Manchester City are undoubtedly among the world's best teams. Real Madrid has won numerous Champions League titles, while Manchester City, under the management of Guardiola, has dominated the Premier League, consistently being the favorite for the Champions League and finally clinching their first-ever trophy last year. Regardless of which team is considered the strongest, they are both highly respected.

During a recent interview, Messi was asked about this question. He stated that both teams are excellent, but if differentiation is necessary, Real Madrid is the best team, while Manchester City is the stronger team in terms of ability. Messi's statement may seem peculiar and even biased, but he has his own explanation.

He believes that being the best team and having the strongest ability are not mutually exclusive. From a competitive perspective and in terms of football style, Guardiola's Manchester City is the team that Messi admires more. Any team coached by Guardiola is unique and has very special characteristics. On the other hand, Real Madrid objectively stands as the best team in the world due to their superior performance, as evidenced by their consistent Champions League victories.

Both teams are quite good, but when it comes to who is the best, who is the strongest team, undoubtedly it's Manchester City. For so many years, Manchester City has consistently been the top choice in Europe, as seen from the Champions League odds every year. Manchester City always ranks first in the odds, as long as they haven't been eliminated. This proves their strength. Moreover, every time Manchester City faces any team, it feels like they can easily eliminate their opponents and advance. This has been the consensus in the Champions League for many years.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is different. The odds for them to win the Champions League are usually in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th positions. They can't even secure the second place. Every time Real Madrid faces any team, it feels like the outcome is uncertain. Real Madrid may not necessarily lose, but they may not necessarily win either. Based on this, the world's strongest team must be Manchester City. Just as Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez said, 'You can't compare us with those big clubs.' What can Real Madrid compare with the great Manchester City?

Even if we include Mbappé in Real Madrid's lineup, the team with the highest market value is still Manchester City. The odds for winning the Champions League next season have already been released, and our Manchester City still ranks first. With so many years of consistently being the top choice in the odds, I think Manchester City can be considered the strongest team in history. After all, they have dominated Europe in the odds for seven years. As strong as Real Madrid is, they only have the three consecutive Champions League titles, which definitely cannot match Manchester City's seven consecutive Champions League odds.

If you're going to talk about the best, unless you have a unique criterion for evaluation, echoing others' opinions won't lead to any authoritative conclusions. So sometimes when people talk about the best, I feel like it's just a false proposition!

Is Messi still making his presence felt? Haha, it's been a while since I've seen him. And now he's still able to talk about which team is strong, which team is the best...?

"Real Madrid and Manchester City each have their own styles and characteristics. In terms of recent years' achievements, Real Madrid is undoubtedly the most successful, not to mention the miraculous 4 titles in 5 years, and two more Champions League victories thereafter, making them the team with the most European titles since the 21st century. Why has the Galacticos been able to maintain such dominance? This is also related to their policy of transitioning between generations. One must admire the wise decisions of Florentino Perez. So far, compared to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid has completed the transition between old and new. The two strongest midfielders, Tchouaméni and Camavinga, were early ac quisitions by Perez. Coupled with the two strongest Brazilian strikers, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr., along with the current top striker Mbappe, the third phase of the Galacticos has completed its final puzzle. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been slow to act and are still in a crisis of debt, which is like heaven and earth compared to Real Madrid.

As for Manchester City, they are mainly supported by their financial operations. Compared to Real Madrid, one is playing while the other is managing. Manchester City's annual expenditures far exceed their income, spending billions while only making a few hundred million in profit, it's as if they're just playing around. As long as Pep Guardiola wants someone, they'll be bought with money. Of course, Manchester City's achievements in recent years have been impressive, with almost complete domination in the league and one Champions League victory. Guardiola has also lived up to Manchester City's investment. However, with rumors of Guardiola not renewing his contract, Manchester City may decline in the future. Let's wait and see..."

Messi's perspective on Real Madrid and Manchester City is indeed insightful. Whether Manchester City will evolve into a team with both strength and excellence in the future remains to be seen, but they certainly have a journey ahead.

Manchester City is undoubtedly the best and strongest team. Whether it's the management, the coaches, or the players, they are all united. They are willing to spend money and have become the strongest team in the truest sense!
