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

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

I see Maradona every time he grabs the ball and accelerates.

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

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.

I will forgive if the players cannot get it right, but not if they do not try hard.
