Pep Guardiola’s All-Time Best XI: Is This the Ultimate Manager Dream Team?

A 34-second social clip named an all-time starting XI made up of players Pep Guardiola has used and set off a fresh online debate — no stats, just pure chaos.

FanZone host Ed Hindle runs through the picks rapidly: “Best goalkeeper to ever have lived… Manuel Neuer for Bayern Munich,” followed by Dani Alves at right-back; centre-backs Gerard Piqué and Vincent Kompany; Philipp Lahm at left-back; a midfield of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets; and a forward line of Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Thierry Henry.

The clip closes with a dare — “Name me a better team” — and thousands of viewers tried to do exactly that. Whether you agree or not, Guardiola’s all-time XI just became the new bar in the never-ending “who had the best players” argument, and the replies are already on fire.
