Argentine football legend Diego Maradona has said that he would like to watch how Pep Guardiola trains his Bayern Munich team and added that newly-crowned Bundesliga champions should get Lionel Messi to make themselves unbeatable.

Bayern won the treble last season and clinched the 2014 league title in record time with seven games to spare.

According to Sport24, the former Argentina player and coach said that he would be very happy to visit Bayern Munich and would like to work for a week with Guardiola to watch him in training, adding that Guardiola has sensed the fact that the Bundesliga has reached the same level as the Spanish La Liga and is using this 'development' at Bayern.

Maradona, whose national team coaching career ended after a 4-0 quarter-final defeat against Germany at the 2010 World Cup, hailed Bayern and Germany captain Philipp Lahm, saying that he 'makes the difference' and added that the team would be 'perfect' when striker Robert Lewandowski arrives in summer from Borussia Dortmund.

However, the Argentine icon added that compatriot Messi, whom Guardiola coached during his term at Barcelona, could make things better for Bayern and bring them on top of every competiton, adding that he would become Guardiola's assistant coach if Messi comes to the German team.
