  1. No, always came into a team of superstars, and with money to burn. Never done it with a team of nobody's (no offense)like Porto, or a team built from academy kids like Ferguson.

  2. Goat in what? In losing to Ancelotti? Winning only one CL with City having infinite amount of money? Coaching a team that paid to Negreira for decades? Coaching another team that accumulated more charges in 10 years than Real Madrid trophies in 100 years? Please.

  3. Anytime these football analysts say guardiola was handed the best players at Barcelona to give him success… I just know they know they pull stuff out of their backside… This dude mentioning busquets that was brought from the feeder team by pep… Or Iniesta that barely had minutes or xavi that was just starting to get his footing in the team…are these guys teenagers not to have know about that Barcelona team…

  4. 😂 in the pl pep is the goat just by the amount of trophies he won with city elevateing this team to global status.😂Fergi isnt the best cuz he ownly did it at United but pep won at Barcelona then Bayern Munich & now at MANCHESTER City. Pep is the greatest manager ever to manage in pl.

  5. I found the guy with braided hair saying rubbish at 7:17 ,saying pep was given a team at Barca filled with great players ,that’s not true,that said said team they gave him couldn’t win the league and that played poor ,him even saying pep bought Sergio Bosquets is laughing and funny ,pep was the one who promoted a lot of those players and he bought not up to 2 players the year he came into management and he won treble 😂😂😂😂he’s the greatest

  6. Messi wasn’t the greatest when pep first came to Barca lol😂,That season with pep was his first as the number 10,pep told Dinho he didn’t need him 😂 u guys don’t even know the game 😂😂

  7. So let me get this correct..

    Pep who has already won the champions league 3 times as a manager has to win the champions league for a 4th time this season to be classed as a better manager than Sir Alex who won just 2 champions league titles..

    Not forgetting Pep has 9 semi final appearances in the competition as a manager which is a record..

    17 match winning streak in the competition which is another record..

    Has won a domestic league in 14 seasons out of 17 as a manager..

    Sir Alex won 17 league title in his whole career which took him 18 seasons longer than Pep has spent as a current manager to reach just 17 in 35 seasons compared to Pep 14 in 17 seasons..

    Pep has already won 21 domestic cup competitions .

    Sir Alex won just 19 in his whole career if you do not include the charity/community shield..

    I’m pretty sure when honours are listed like this their is only one clear winner already so please do youre du diligence if you want to have a serious debate for who’s the GOAT and it certainly doesn’t entail winning the UCL for that to clarify it..

    Peps already the GOAT and these stats prove it..

    Sir Pep 🐐

  8. How is pep the best? When he was always given the best players money can buy. That’s pure none sense. He’s a great but not the greatest. That title still belongs to Sir Alex! The 🐐!

  9. So i ask should we city be found guilty the premier league shall never be entertaining coz facts are the other teams have spend so much yet the not at city level and it seems la liga shall dominate just like the spanish dominate England facts!!!!

  10. These guys speak about the PL like Americans speak about the NBA. Greatest of all time manager without considering world class managers outside the PL like Ancelotti or Sacchi. Just like when thee team that wins the NBA is the world champion.

  11. That "Pep was given the keys at Barca" narrative is such a lie. Do you know where they finished quite literally the season before? Did you see him sell of Ronaldinho, the best player multiple ballon d'or winner? Did you not see him promote Sergio Busquets?
    And they seem to think Xavi and Iniesta were already world beaters…NO…he MADE them into world beaters.
    Its complete nonesense.
