It has been an honour to be the coach of the best player (Messi) I have ever seen and probably the best I will see.

If there isn't a sequence of 15 previous passes, a good transition between attack and defence is impossible. Impossible.

Lahm is a scandal. He is super-intelligent, understands the game brilliantly, knows when to come inside or to stay wide. The guy is f****** exceptional

My advice for Sebastian Kehl is: if you have a 35-point deficit in the league, it is better to shut up.

I am not dealing with footballers, I am dealing with people. They have fears and worry about failing and making fools of themselves in front of 80,000 people. I have to make them see that without each other they are nothing.

Neuer is one of the best goalkeepers in history.

There is no defence that can stop Messi. It is impossible.
