In regards to which team was better, Lionel Messi’s Barcelona team or the current Argentina team:
“Leo’s Barça or this Argentina? I think that Barcelona has no comparison whatsoever, it will never exist again. Although this Argentina is playing very well and putting on a show, but to match that Barça…”
