Simeone "Man United are one of the best teams in the world right now."

Didn't Pep say something just as ridiculous when we were facing his Bayern team under Moyes ?

Anyway, mind games or just having a laugh.
 
Managing their fans' expectations because he knows we're going to win :devil:
 
He's not wrong. If world includes Sunday league, that is
 
Such a bad attempt at mind games. Disappointed.
 
Best team in World my arse ….not even the best team in Manchester
 
Not mind games imo, they're just in a terrible form and he's setting expectations in case they lose.
 
Not mind games.

He's just straight-up trolling.

The only reason he should be scared is Ronaldo.
 
I’d put all top 4/5/6 teams as among the best in the world to be fair. That’s how powerful English football is
 
That’s what he tells the press, but his pre-match pep talk will just be, "muchachos, es Manchester…"
 
Maybe what he means is we have some of the best individuals in the world right now in our team. We have a few players many teams may want. A few.

We certainly ain't one of the best teams! We're probably top 15 or so though which means we are a threat and therefore he's covering his own arse.
 
Nice Guardiola impression there.

I sometimes think Pep is the dullest man in football but his "they were the best team I've ever seen even if we did beat them 7-0" routine makes me think he's some kind of meta performer who's been doing comedy this whole time.
 
Well, we are definitely best of the world, for 60min. it is the rest that trouble us.
 
Not mind games.

He's just straight-up trolling.

Trolling? That's a standard answer to the usual question.

Hilarious how people read too much into this, he won't be saying "ManUtd are average team since SAF retired". It's standard answers which means nothing. Not mind games, not trolling. These guys are professionals, not social media trolls.
