The former Barca boss watched his side beat his old club 3-2 at the Allianz Arena in the semifinal second leg, but they were unable to overturn the 3-0 deficit from the first game.

Messi was the star of that victory, scoring two goals at Camp Nou, the second following a superb run and sublime chipped finish over Manuel Neuer. Guardiola said: “I am happy that Messi is back here again. He is incredible, he is back to his best as he was when I used to train him. We’re lucky to live in his age as he is the best player of all time. I can compare him to Pele, and I am very proud of the years I spent with him.”
