In a jaw-dropping twist that’s taken the football world by storm, Lionel Messi has reportedly pleaded with Pep Guardiola to give Manchester City’s hidden gem more playing time — calling him "one of the best opponents I’ve ever faced!" 😱💬
According to inside sources, the Argentine legend was left completely awestruck after a recent encounter with the City star, believed to be Rico Lewis, Oscar Bobb, or Phil Foden — names that have been dazzling in moments but still fighting for regular starts in a squad packed with world-class talent.
“He’s got vision, intelligence, and courage. He reminds me of players I grew up with,” Messi reportedly told those close to him after a training session while praising the young star. “This guy is special. He gave me real problems on the pitch. Pep should play him more.”
The comment has reignited debates among fans and pundits alike, many now questioning why Guardiola rotates this player so sparingly when even the GOAT is urging for more minutes on the pitch.
💬 One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “If Messi sees something in him, then we better pay attention. Pep, don’t bench brilliance!”
🔥 Another added: “We’ve been saying this! The lad needs to start every game. Pep, listen to Messi!”
The buzz has also sparked comparisons with Messi’s past praise of rising stars like Pedri and Jamal Musiala — both of whom blossomed after receiving his endorsement.
Whether or not Pep heeds Messi’s emotional plea remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: when Lionel Messi says a player is special, the world listens. 🌍👂
Stay tuned — because this story might just be the beginning of a breakout season for Manchester City's next big star. 🧨💫
