Pep Guardiola: When I see the images, I feel sorrow because they are painful Pep Guardiola: Tell me, how can you defend that?

Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, announced his intention to use his sporting platform to speak out and defend victims of conflicts and violence around the world.

Guardiola’s remarks came during a press conference ahead of the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final against Newcastle United, just days after he participated in a charity event in Barcelona, showing his support for children in the occupied Palestinian territories.

"I feel sorrow" He emphasized the importance of social solidarity, saying: "Communities must work collectively to improve their conditions. Look at what happened in the United States… Rene Good and Alex Bretti were killed. Tell me, how can you defend that?"

The Spanish coach added: "When I see the images, I feel sorrow because they are painful. In every situation where I can help by speaking for a better society, I will try and always be present. This is for my children, my family, and for you."

Guardiola concluded by stressing that perfection does not exist, stating: "There is no perfect society, no perfect place, and I am not perfect, but we must work to be better."
