Barcelona hasn't won the Champions League since 2015 and Pep Guardiola hasn't been with the club since 2012, but he believes they remain the best team in the world.

Guardiola offered the sentiment in an unsolicited way when asked about Andres Iniesta leaving Barcelona.

"You have to do it again and find the players to do it again," said Guardiola. "A team isn't finished when one, two or three people are gone. Barcelona are still the best team in the world, Champions League or no Champions League."
