Pep Guardiola names 'best' free-kick taker in the world right now, it's not Messi

Manchester City

"Yes he's the best taker I've ever seen, or is best right now worldwide. No better taker than [James]

Carragher: "No Messi, we had that debate at the start of the season, didn't we, 

 or Messi. I was the Messi man. He was Ronaldo, but unfortunately, even though he's... "

Neville: "He's not happy with you Messi is he?"

Carragher: "No, he's not happy with me at all. I had a little pop at Ronaldo early in the season. I didn't think it was a great signing for United. And I said the example of Messi. I didn't think Messi is a great signing for PSG... "

"Did we score a free-kick goal after Messi departure?"

"It’s honestly out of this world what Messi meant to us. So bizarre what kind of effect one person can have on a team."

"We couldn't defend this trophy [Copa del Rey] without him."
