However, Pep Guardiola has named another one who he thinks was the best of his generation.

Reacting to Diego Maradona’s death in November 2020, the Spanish tactician hailed the 1986 World Cup winner as the best of his generation.

“For my generation, Maradona is the greatest player we’ve seen and I don’t believe that will ever change”, he said, as per talkSPORT.

Maradona is one of the best players the game has ever had. The former Argentine star scored 155 goals and provided 77 assists in 337 club appearances.
