🚨🎙️ Pep Guardiola was asked:
“Who is the GOAT between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo?”
🗣️ Pep Guardiola smiled:
“Honestly, I don't like this debate anymore because people always want a five-second answer for a question that deserves five hours.”
🗣️ “The moment you say Messi, Ronaldo fans get angry. The moment you say Ronaldo, Messi fans get angry.”
🗣️ “Football is not social media. Football is not about choosing a side in ten seconds.”
🗣️ “To understand greatness, you have to understand football first.”
🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest competitors I have ever seen in any sport.”
🗣️ “His mentality is unbelievable. His discipline is unbelievable. The way he transformed himself from a winger into the greatest goalscorer football has ever seen is something that should be studied.”
🗣️ “You don't score that many goals by accident.”
🗣️ “You don't dominate England, Spain, Italy and international football by accident.”
🗣️ “Cristiano earned every single achievement he has.”
🗣️ “But then there is Messi.”
🗣️ “And this is where the conversation changes.”
🗣️ “When I coached Messi, I realized very quickly that I wasn't looking at a normal football player.”
🗣️ “I was looking at football itself.”
🗣️ “There are players who score goals.”
🗣️ “There are players who create goals.”
🗣️ “There are players who control matches.”
🗣️ “Messi does all three at the same time.”
🗣️ “People see the goals.”
🗣️ “I see the passes nobody else sees.”
🗣️ “I see the spaces nobody else understands.”
🗣️ “I see the decisions that change games before anyone realizes what happened.”
🗣️ “That's why I always laugh when people compare football only through statistics.”
🗣️ “Football is much deeper than statistics.”
🗣️ “If football was only about goals, then maybe the debate would be different.”
🗣️ “But football is also creativity.”
🗣️ “Football is intelligence.”
🗣️ “Football is influence.”
🗣️ “Football is making everyone around you better.”
🗣️ “And for me, nobody has ever done that better than Messi.”
🗣️ “Can Ronaldo be called one of the greatest ever?”
🗣️ “Of course.”
🗣️ “Without any doubt.”
🗣️ “But if you ask me personally, if you ask me honestly, if you ask me as somebody who watched Messi every day…”
🗣️ “Then my answer is Lionel Messi.”
🗣️ “Not because Ronaldo isn't incredible.”
🗣️ “He is.”
🗣️ “Not because Ronaldo didn't change football.”
🗣️ “He did.”
🗣️ “But because Messi changed the way football is understood.”
🗣️ “That is a different level.”
🗣️ “And maybe some Ronaldo fans will criticize me for saying this.”
🗣️ “That's okay.”
🗣️ “I respect Cristiano enormously.”
🗣️ “But I cannot ignore what my eyes have seen.”
🗣️ “For many years I watched Messi do things that should not be possible on a football pitch.”
🗣️ “Things that coaches cannot teach.”
🗣️ “Things that defenders cannot stop.”
🗣️ “Things that only belong to geniuses.”
🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in football history.”
🗣️ “Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer I have ever seen.”
🐐🇦🇷✨
🗣️ “Sometimes the hardest answer to give is also the simplest one.”
🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović Defiende a Messi en Medio de la Controversia por la Tarjeta Roja
🗣️: "La gente que grita pidiendo una tarjeta roja claramente no conoce las reglas del fútbol. Según la IFAB, pisar el tendón de Aquiles de un jugador no es automáticamente una expulsión. El árbitro debe juzgar el nivel de fuerza utilizado y si el desafío puso en peligro la seguridad del oponente.
Una tarjeta roja es por fuerza excesiva o juego peligroso grave. Este incidente no fue ninguno de los dos. Para mí, ni siquiera es una tarjeta amarilla. El fútbol es un deporte de contacto. Cada pequeño toque no es un crimen.
Las personas más ruidosas que claman por una tarjeta roja son fans de Ronaldo. Pasan más tiempo rezando por la caída de Messi que disfrutando del fútbol. En cada torneo esperan algo, cualquier cosa, que pueda dañar la reputación de Messi.
La verdad es simple: si ese desafío lo hubiera cometido Ronaldo, lo llamarían pasión y espíritu de lucha. Porque fue Messi, quieren una tarjeta roja y una sanción de cinco partidos.
Ronaldo está acabado, y esa realidad les duele. Messi sigue siendo el nombre del que todos hablan, así que siguen buscando formas de derribarlo. Esta campaña por la tarjeta roja es solo otro intento desesperado."
Mohamed Salah on Lionel Messi’s masterclass vs Algeria:
🗣️ “I watched the full game of Lionel Messi against Algeria, and honestly… what he did was just ridiculous from start to finish.”
“From the first whistle, you could already see he was in that kind of mood where everything he touches turns into danger, and as a player you just feel it immediately.”
“I’ve seen many great performances in my career, but the control he had over the game, the calmness, and the way he made it look so easy was something else entirely.”
“When I say ridiculous, I mean it in the purest way… because even when Algeria tried everything defensively, he still found space, time, and solutions that shouldn’t exist.”
“As a player, you watch that and you don’t even get frustrated first you just admire it, because it’s like watching someone playing a different version of football.”
“There were moments where I honestly thought the move was dead, and then suddenly he creates a chance or a goal out of nowhere like it’s nothing.”
“That’s why people call him special… because even when you prepare for him, you still end up reacting instead of stopping him.”
“Tonight was another reminder that Messi is not just a top player… he is a once-in-a-generation type of talent.
Zinedine Zidane sobre la controversia de la tarjeta roja a Lionel Messi contra Argelia:
🗣️ “He visto el incidente con Lionel Messi varias veces ya, desde diferentes ángulos, y honestamente no entiendo cómo algunas personas están pidiendo una tarjeta roja.”
“Sí, hay contacto. Nadie lo niega. Pero el fútbol es un deporte de contacto, y cada contacto no se convierte automáticamente en una expulsión solo porque las redes sociales quieren una historia más grande.”
“Lo que me decepciona es que la gente esté pasando más tiempo hablando de un momento accidental que hablando de la obra maestra futbolística que Messi produjo durante noventa minutos.”
“Un jugador marca un hat-trick, rompe récords, domina un partido de la Copa del Mundo, y de alguna manera la conversación se convierte en un desafío que duró unos segundos. Eso lo dice todo.”
“Para mí, la intención importa. El contexto importa. La velocidad de la acción importa. Y cuando miro el incidente, veo una acción de fútbol, no a un jugador tratando de lastimar a un oponente.”
“Creo que algunas personas ya se habían formado una opinión antes de que se mostrara la repetición. Si ese mismo incidente involucrara a otro jugador, no creo que todavía estuviéramos discutiéndolo horas después.”
“La verdad es simple: Messi no escapó de una tarjeta roja. No había una tarjeta roja de la que escapar. El árbitro lo vio, el VAR lo revisó, y llegaron a la misma conclusión.”
“En lugar de buscar controversia, tal vez deberíamos apreciar lo que presenciamos esta noche: uno de los mejores jugadores en la historia del fútbol entregando otra actuación inolvidable en la Copa del Mundo.”

📝O extremo compostelán, despois dunha tempada complicada no RC Deportivo, está moi preto do CD Lugo
🏠 Isto débese a que o atacante foi pasar uns días a Santiago, que tan só está a 1h. 30min. de Lugo
