Pep Guardiola has praised two special Argentineans who will be on display when Barcelona play Atletico Madrid.Barca's Lionel Messi and Atletico's Sergio Aguero may be colleagues at international level, but will be facing off against each other this weekend with both already more than living up to their dynamic reputations.
While the dynamic duo are widely regarded as two of the best players in the world, Guardiola is in no doubt that Messi has the edge over his compatriot.
"Aguero is very good but for me Messi is the better of the two," Guardiola said.
"Kun (Aguero) has an air of Romario and he is obviously compatible with Messi because they play together internationally."
Messi and Aguero are good friends off the pitch, but not surprisingly Guardiola is keen for Messi to forget any personal battles and not to do too much himself against Atletico.
"I have spoken to Messi about not trying to win the game alone," he said
"I do not know if he has a personal motivation with Kun to win the game but all we want is to win.
"A win would put us up the table and would be good for the team. To stop Agüero we have to know where he moves, to try and dominate the game so that he intervenes as little as possible and to stop the counter attacks."
