🚨🎙️ Robert Lewandowski on whether Barcelona asked him to stop scoring goals to avoid paying a bonus to Bayern Munich:
Reporter🎙️: “Is it true that Barcelona asked you to stop scoring goals because they didn’t want to pay Bayern Munich a bonus?”
Lewandowski🗣️: “There are some things I don’t want to talk about. I have a lot of respect for Barcelona and everyone who works there. I was aware of the club’s financial situation at that time, and I understood that many things had to be resolved for the good of the club.
Reporter🎙️: “Knowing what you know now, would you still have joined Barcelona if you had known about their financial situation beforehand?”
Lewandowski🗣️: “Of course. Xavi was a big reason I joined Barcelona. He explained his plans and what he wanted to build here. Honestly, by the time he finished explaining everything, my mind was already made up. I wanted to work with him, and I wanted to be part of that project.
As for the bonus, it was connected to the number of goals I scored. At that moment, Barça were looking at every single euro. It wasn’t a small amount, and I understood the situation the club was in.
But if you ask me today whether I regret joining Barcelona, absolutely not. If anything, sometimes I wish I had started my career here. That’s how much this club means to me.
When you spend time at Barcelona, you understand that everything isn’t about money. It’s more than a football club. It’s the people, the history, the supporters and the feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself. Once you experience that, you understand why so many players fall in love with this place.
Of course, we had difficult moments, but none of them made me regret my decision. I believed in Xavi, I believed in the project, and I wanted to give everything for this badge. I would make that same decision again.
The money itself wouldn’t have changed anything for me. I had no problem with the situation, but I would be lying if I said it never crossed my mind.
When you’re a striker, your job is to score goals. You step onto the pitch thinking about scoring, helping your team and winning games. But when something like that enters your mind, you start thinking about things you would never normally consider.
I remember wondering whether I should score or not. That was the strange part. You understand the club’s financial difficulties and want to help, but at the same time, you’re a striker. Scoring goals is what you’ve dedicated your entire career to doing.”
🚨 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: Mikel Arteta speaks on Manchester City and Manchester United being a big disgrace in this season's Champions League tournament.
“I honestly believe Manchester City and Manchester United have been a major disgrace in this season’s Champions League.
Clubs of their size should be setting standards, not disappointing their supporters. European football demands consistency, ambition, and discipline.
If you cannot deliver those qualities, you have no business pretending to be among Europe’s elite.”
Christian Vieri and Hernán Crespo Excluded .
Mention the name of at least two players that played for inter Milan , Ac Milan and Lazio , you’re a football god.
I know you can’t .
🚨🎙️Neymar Jnr on Lamine Yamal;
🗣️He keeps telling the public he grew up studying my videos, but honestly? Half the time I watch him now, I’m the one taking notes! (laughs)
The audacity, the swagger, the way he glides past two or three defenders like he’s playing in his backyard—it’s unreal. He tells everyone I was his idol, but the sheer confidence he plays with at his age is crazy.
He’s special, man. Truly special. That’s why I keep saying it—for me, he’s one of the best in the world right now. You don't even need him to be on the scoresheet to see who he is. Just watch how he controls the pitch, creates pure magic out of nothing, and plays with that true joga bonito spirit. That’s the kind of player people pay to watch."
🚨🔵 PEP GUARDIOLA FINALLY BREAKS HIS SILENCE ON MANCHESTER CITY'S FINANCIAL BREACHES! 😳🔥
🗣️🎙 Pep Guardiola:
🗣️"Honestly, sometimes I sit here and wonder whether people are angry because Manchester City have broken the rules or because Manchester City have broken their dominance. These are two completely different conversations, but people constantly mix them together because they want to see us fall."
🗣️"Let me make one thing clear: I will never ask anyone to support Manchester City. You can hate us, criticise us, celebrate when we lose, and question everything we do. That is football. But do not expect me to apologise for building one of the greatest teams this sport has ever seen simply because our success makes other people uncomfortable."
🗣️"People talk about financial breaches every single day. They discuss charges, investigations, punishments, and possible consequences as though the verdict has already been delivered. Everybody has an opinion. Everybody has a prediction. Everybody seems to know exactly what happened, what should happen, and how football should punish us."
🗣️"But football is not supposed to operate through public opinion. There are procedures, evidence, and established rules. If people believe Manchester City have broken the rules, then the appropriate authorities must establish the facts and apply the regulations fairly."
🗣️"If we are found to have committed wrongdoing, we must face the consequences established by the relevant authorities. Nobody should be above the rules, including Manchester City."
🗣️"But until the process reaches its conclusion, I will not accept the idea that shouting the loudest automatically makes someone right."
🗣️"Do you know what frustrates me the most? The way some people speak about our players, our supporters, and everything we have achieved. They talk as though the footballers who won our trophies never trained, never sacrificed, never suffered, and never fought through difficult moments."
🗣️"Erling Haaland did not score his goals because a journalist criticised another club. Kevin De Bruyne did not become one of the greatest midfielders of his generation because somebody on social media was angry. Our players trained, competed, and performed under pressure."
🗣️"Our supporters travelled across the country and across Europe to follow this team. They celebrated our victories and suffered through our defeats. Are we supposed to tell them that their memories mean nothing because people are arguing about financial regulations?
🗣️"No. We must respect the process, but we must also respect the people who have supported this football club."
"However, I will say something that might upset people.
🗣️"If Manchester City have broken the rules, punish us according to the rules. But if you want us punished simply because you hate our success, then that is not justice. That is revenge disguised as justice."
🗣️"To Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and every other club that believes Manchester City have benefited unfairly, I understand why you want answers. Your supporters have invested their emotions, money, and time into this sport. They deserve a competition in which the rules are clear and enforced fairly."
🗣️"But do not confuse wanting accountability with wanting another club to disappear."
🗣️"Some of the criticism is legitimate. Some of the questions deserve serious answers. And some of the commentary has gone far beyond football and become a campaign to destroy everything associated with Manchester City."
