Footage has emerged from Manchester City's new fly-on-the-wall documentary 'Champions Again!' of Pep Guardiola extolling the footballing virtues of Lionel Messi to his squad.
City have released a new documentary tracking the squad on their march to retaining their Premier League crown.
In a clip from the programme, Guardiola is filmed encouraging his squad to play like Messi and go and finish Club Brugge off in the second half of their Champions League group stage encounter in Belgium.
With his City side 2-0 up, through goals from Joao Cancelo and Riyad Mahrez, Guardiola decided to use part of his team talk to discuss his former player.
