FC Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola brushed off claims of rift between David Villa and Lionel Messi.
Pep also offered no comment on an autobiography from Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic that was critical of him as a manager.
On Villa-Messi:
It is impossible to argue with David, both he and Leo are good people," Guardiola said.
"He is very generous on the pitch and in his personal life, it's impossible to fall out with David. Leo has been clear, David is clear, there is nothing (to the rumours).
On Ibra:
[soccerway]"(I have) nothing to say," the Catalan said. "There was nothing personal. I just want to thank him for the year he gave us where we reached 99 points (in La Liga)."
"He played, he proved his quality and helped us reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. There is nothing more to say."

This man can't be human.
Alfredo Di Stéfano, Real Madrid's greatest ever player and the honorary president, spoke out. "Barcelona's football was simply brilliant," he said in his weekly column. "Their superiority was there for the whole planet to see: the whites were cornered all game. Barcelona play football and dance. They treat the ball with adoration and respect, almost nurturing it. To see this team in action is a delight."

Even to people who attack him, he is gentle. Pep is the most mannered and intelligent coach ever. I have so much admiration and respect for this man.

Pep is so humble, so class.
Guardiola always know how to react with humility and respect.

Humble?
Pep is being condescending as hell by saying this, and I love it.

"... the Catalan said."? "The Catalan (or possibly extra-terrestrial) genius" please
Good on Pep

Pep, what is with the constant trolling man?
"A Real fan in...
August: 'We're gonna win the treble!'
December: 'We're gonna win the double!'
March: 'We're gonna win the League!'
June: 'We've got 9 CL."
4 Times.
