—¿Cree que los jóvenes deben interesarse por la política?
—Yo no sé. A mí no me interesó nunca la política. Me interesa más la ética. Creo que si cada uno actúa éticamente eso puede tener un efecto político muy grande.

Pep Guardiola on backing Argentina in the World Cup final
🗣️ “I was born and raised in Spain, in Santpedor, and this country has given me everything my roots, my education in football at La Masia, and the foundation of who I am. But on Sunday in the World Cup final, my support is fully with Argentina. I know it might surprise people, but loyalty in football sometimes goes beyond borders when someone has meant so much to the game and to me personally.
Messi deserves everything good that football can give him. He has elevated this sport to another level with his genius, humility, and relentless pursuit of perfection. I want him to win this final not just for Argentina, but because no player in history has given more joy and inspiration to millions around the world.
Leo made me who I am today as one of the top coaches. Coaching him at Barcelona wasn’t just about tactics or systems it was a masterclass in football intelligence. He taught me how to see the game differently, how to build teams around true excellence, and how to chase beauty on the pitch. Without those years alongside him, I wouldn’t have developed the philosophy or achieved the success that followed.
So yes, even though I’m Spanish through and through, my heart is with Argentina on Sunday. I hope Spain plays brilliantly and shows their quality, but I am rooting for Messi to have his crowning moment. Football is bigger than any one nation it’s about celebrating the players who define eras, and right now, that player is Leo.“
Thomas Tuchel on Lionel Messi’s masterclass against England.
🗣️ “I’ve coached against some of the greatest footballers in history, but nights like this remind you why Lionel Messi is different. We prepared for him all week. We had plans, we had markers, we had instructions… and none of it was enough. He punished us with two moments of absolute genius.”
“You can stop him for 85 minutes, but Messi only needs five seconds to destroy everything you’ve built. That’s what happened tonight. Two assists, no panic, no wasted movement just pure football intelligence. He doesn’t force the game. He waits… and when you make one mistake, you’re dead.”
“I was shouting from the touchline because I knew the danger every time he received the ball. My players knew it too. Yet knowing what Messi is capable of and actually stopping him are two completely different things. He sees passes that nobody else in world football even imagines.”
“People talk about speed and strength. Messi doesn’t need either. His brain is faster than every defender on the pitch. He dictates the tempo, manipulates space and tears teams apart without looking like he’s trying. That is what true greatness looks like.”
“As painful as this defeat is for England, I refuse to lie. We were beaten by a footballer who continues to redefine the game at 39 years old. Two assists in a World Cup semi-final, carrying his country into another final… that’s not normal. That’s history unfolding in front of your eyes.”
“Sometimes, as a coach, you have to accept an uncomfortable truth. We didn’t just lose to Argentina we lost to Lionel Messi. And if he plays the final like he played tonight, the rest of the world should be very worried.”
Pep Guardiola on Lionel Messi and Argentina players lifting him after the game:
🗣️ “This is one of the most beautiful moments football can give us. When you see Messi being lifted by his teammates, you understand that this is bigger than football. This is about love, respect, and everything he has given to the people around him. They were not just lifting a player they were lifting a symbol, a leader, and a legend.”
“People see the goals, the trophies, and the records, but they don’t always see the sacrifices behind them. Messi has carried incredible pressure for Argentina for so many years. He has carried the hopes of millions, faced criticism, and continued to fight. To see his teammates celebrate him like this shows the impact he has had on everyone inside that dressing room.”
“This is the reward for a player who has given everything. His teammates know what he does, they know the responsibility he carries, and they wanted to show the world what he means to them. A player can win many trophies, but moments like this being lifted by the people who fight beside you are priceless.”
“For Lionel Messi and his fans, this is a moment that will live forever. Football is not only about numbers and medals; it is about emotions, memories, and the people you inspire. Tonight, Argentina showed the world the incredible respect they have for their captain. They lifted Messi because, for them, he has lifted them so many times before.”
