Pep Guardiola - Press Conference 10.03.2012
↳ “Mourinho and I are alike only in a way that both of us want to win but we use different ways. I have no doubt about that. But if I look at other areas or something else and Mou still thinks we are alike, then I’ll have to correct my behaviour.”

↳ “My first objective in the press conference is not to embarrass my people (players and institution).”

↳ “If having a good relationship with RFEF means that the referees help you, then it means the refereeing system has a problem.”

↳ “Football always belongs to footballers. If we have gained so much it is because we have great players. We have won 13 titles out of 16 titles and we have also achieved success in Europe. The only thing that matters in football are the players.”

↳ “During these 4 years, we’ve always been suspected. We’ve been accused of everything. But at playing level, we have been admired. We have been admired in everything, on and off the field. We have let all the people in the world know, we have won so much because we played better than others.”

"There is always a time of year it is said [that he’s playing poorly]. [But] I have the confidence of my colleagues, of the coach and people of Barcelona - and that is what matters to me and makes me feel happy."  - Lionel Messi (he resisted the opportunity to bite back at those who have questioned his form of late)

"Of course there’s life after Xavi. Didn’t you see the game on Sunday? Barça don’t depend on one player."  - Xavi Hernandez (via football-addict)
