Pep: Messi is the best player ever

PEP GUARDIOLA hailed Lionel Messi as the best player EVER after Barcelona's Euro supershow.

The Spanish champions demolished Manchester United 3-1 at Wembley to earn a fourth European Cup.

And Argie superstar Messi was once again at his brilliant best, scoring the second and leaving United defenders in his wake all evening.

Barca boss Guardiola said: "Lionel is the best player I've ever seen, probably the best ever. He made the difference.

"Messi is unique, a one-off. I just hope he doesn't get fed up. When he doesn't play well it is because something is wrong with his environment. Let's hope he can continue playing well."

Chelsea target Guardiola insisted his team is a one-off - claiming it would be difficult to find a similar group at another club.

He said: "If you play this football (like Barcelona) you need these players. At another club maybe I would have a problem to find these kind of players.

"I feel privileged to have these players. Everyone has worked towards this. We are very happy."

When pressed on his future, the Spaniard was unusually cryptic.

He added: "I will say it again, I have another year on my contract and I intend to work it out.

"You have girls falling at your feet when you win but that can change overnight.

"But I have to look inside of me. I am happy to be here as coach of these guys but it is not an easy job."
