@@MoejiiOsmanTV Hence why Barcelona didn't win for years after Pep left.

[@JW-be8wf]

@@MoejiiOsmanTV Its not that he won it all. He upended the game completely while winning it all. Pep is to football what IPhone is to mobile phones. Mobile phones exist in two distinct eras, before and after IPhone. Similarly football exists in 2 distinct eras, Before Pep's Barca and after Pep's Barca. Pep's influence on the game is global. From Sunday League to Premier League, from Under 7 to Over 65, from North Pole to South Pole, they are all trying to emulate Pep's style and philosophy. This level of impact makes him sit on the same table as Arrigo Sacchi, Johan Cryuff, Rinus Michels and Herbert Chapman and all. There is a winner for every competition every year. But those who change the game come once a decade.... if it is a good decade. That is what Pep is.

[@shahzadirani]

Yes, we remember that great Barcelona side for winning those 2 UCLs only thanks to the help of the referees. Without the help of the refs, Pep would have 0 UCLs (2009 Chelsea scandal and 2011 Arsenal scandal).

[@polopuik9198]

It's funny how they try to say that Pep only wins through his players like Messi or the splendid midfield. A quick reminder: The season prior were third, haven't won anything in three years, Messi also was plagued with injuries. Xavi and Iniesta didn't work on the pitch together and so more. Pep makes the best out of their players, we judge their work with our perception when we should do it with the perception at the time, for example Iniesta in the 2008 Ballon d'or was nomination only had 3 Barcelona players, Eto'o, Messi, and Xavi (no Iniesta), or his appointment was very controversional, the majority here wanted Jose Mourinho, and the press went at him like crazy, Guardiola also took with him a player he coached in the third division to make competence to Yaya Toure whose position was indisputed, the name of the player was Sergio Busquets.

[@shahzadirani]

LOL you act like that Barcelona team were like the Aberdeen team or United team that did NOT win any title for 20 years. The fact is while Barcelona came third before Pep joined, that same team still reached the UCL semi-final. That same team of players he inherited were already ELITE WINNERS (Puyol Xavi Valdes Eto'o Iniesta Messi Marquez had all won the UCL with Barcelona 2 years before Pep). Puyol Iniesta Xavi Valdes also won the Euro 2008 with Spain a month before Pep took over. So these players were already ELITE WINNERS. Barcelona media is known to blow things out of proportion BUT All Pep did was sell Ronaldinho and Deco and promoted Busquets. That's not the same as re-building an entire dynasty at Aberdeen and Man United.

[@polopuik9198]

@@shahzadirani They were as elite players as you could find in any top team, my point is what he did was enhance what he previously had, just as I think players like Gundogan, Stones, Cancelo etc... may never achieved the heights they reached, same as Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Messi (keeping the distance of course). Every time someone talks about Pep's Barça they put all the merit on the players that formed the team, but what I want to pount out is that the brilliance of the player was in part also thanks to the sistem Pep made them play in. I've seen countless bad teams formed of excellent players, but never an excellent team conformed of bad players, a good coach can create a great team that will lead to great players be created.

[@Quan367]

Facts and the crazy thing is Barca haven’t been as dominant since he left. Yes they won a treble again in 2015 but they had to use the individual brilliance of the best front trio (MSN) to achieve that. And seasons prior winning that and teams were somewhat able to neutralize them by being really defensive and isolating them they weren’t able to build on that treble

[@Quan367]

So are we really going to credit the players more than pep ?

[@endlessmotion2255]

I'm a Utd fan and can admit Pep's Barca sides are the best club sides I've ever seen. Man City are a different beast. They're a machine that's been designed from the ground up with infinite funds to to have the infrastructure, recruitment, backroom staff and coaches at a level where they're capable of hitting 100 points a season. It's hugely impressive how they play and what they've done the past few years in particular but they're setup to do just that and it should be expected. That's why IF they complete the treble it's not going to be anywhere near as impressive as when Utd did it. Nobody was expecting us to have an exceptional season, we had a bunch of homegrown talent and didn't have a £100m striker, £100m winger etc. City should have won the CL a few times already and it's just not going to be as impressive if they do the treble. They might be a better side than our 99 team but it won't be as much of an achievement, how can it be when City have such an expensive squad and everything in place to allow them to compete year after year with no need to have a year or two out whilst they rebuild?

[@jasonazyu9677]

I hear you...but money wise....UTD are probably closest to city...you guys can also get whichever striker you want....sooo many wasted talents. Look at their most important players like Gundo, kdb etc...none of them were ridiculous fees. They spend their funds very well. Almost no flops. Sooo...United fukd up if you ask me. Bit similar to Chelsea. Clubs like Ars and Liverpool have really done well with their limited funds.

I've always been a huge opponent of judging teams on cup competitions. It's easy to say "they should've won the UCL", but in any given year there are a dozen teams that "should be able to win". If you look at any given team, zero in on their performance, it will look absolutely miserable. Juventus, Atleti, AC Milan, Dortmund, Spurs, PSG, Lyon - they've all had teams that were capable of winning the UCL in recent memory, but none of them have in a good while. Ferguson only won it twice at United while similarly dominating the league. The thing is, it's easy to judge a team as failures when you ignore the nature of the competition. One bad game from you or one good game from your opponent in any stage can mean you're knocked out. And you're playing against literally the best teams in Europe, so there's no such thing as a free lunch. I'm not saying I hate cup competitions, but there's an inherent sense of luck involved in a sport like football, where you could play the same game on a different day and get a different result, when knockouts are involved.

[@RandomVideosFirst]

Its only new supporters that are saying pep is better, what makes SAF superior is that the fact he took Aberdeen from the nowhere to success won then the Scottish league which hadn't been won for 25 years t the time and since SAF left they havent won it again, he got Aberdeen to the Cup winners cup final beating Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in final and winning it. Then leaving for united (which was a he huge as they weren't challenge and struggled for many years) who hadn't won a league title in 30 years at to eventually winning in 92/93 (42 games back then), and go go on to dominate for two decades winning various doubles and a treble along the way and build several championship winning team with money earned via revenue (no sugar daddy!) Pep as great as he is tactically has never build a team with restricted funding and has always taken over team that were already successful, in my opinion I rateJose a lot higher because hes done both with Porto turning them into a champions league winning side and winning the double in 2003 as well as with inter in 2010.

The argument " Pep Is A Better Manager Than Sir Alex Ferguson" I think was said well in a video between Keane and Cara. Pep without a doubt will be the most successive manager ever but he's either been very smart or too safe by doing it with title favorite teams already. He doesn't have the renown for bringing up lesser teams like Aberdeen for Ferg and BVB for Klopp and I think that's the only thing that would ever hold that part of his legacy back with that regard. If he did turn lets say Roma into a beast of a team, I think he could take best manager of all time in all areas. I personally think that If Pep stays in the premier league the same amount as Ferg and does what he's been doing, he will be the greatest ever manager in the prem without question.
