💔Pep Guardiola:
“People think football gives you everything. The trophies, the nights under the lights, the songs from the fans… and yes, it gives you beautiful moments. But football also takes. It takes time. It takes peace. It takes pieces of you that you don’t even realise are disappearing.
For many years, I was obsessed. Completely obsessed. I woke up thinking about football, I slept thinking about football. Even when I was sitting with my family, mentally I was somewhere else — thinking about tactics, training, pressure, the next match, the next title. I gave everything to this game. Maybe too much.
There was a moment in my life when my wife looked at me and said, ‘You have to choose. Football or us.’ And the truth is… I chose football.
At that time, I believed I was doing the right thing. I told myself this was my passion, my responsibility, my identity. But passion can become addiction when you forget the people who love you outside of your work.
You win trophies, and everyone celebrates you for one night. Then the next morning, they ask what comes next. Another game. Another title. Another sacrifice. Football never says ‘enough.’ It always asks for more.
And one day, I looked around and realised the people I loved were growing older while I was standing on the touchline shouting about a misplaced pass. My children were becoming adults. Time was moving. Life was moving. And I was missing it.
That hurts more than losing any final.
Now I understand something I didn’t understand when I was younger: there is life beyond football. Real life. Quiet mornings with your family. Conversations without pressure. Laughing at dinner without thinking about the weekend’s lineup. Being present. Truly present.
Football gave me everything professionally, but family gives me something football never could — peace.
So yes, maybe it is time to stop for a while. To rest. To breathe. To wake up without pressure in my chest. To be a husband. To be a father. Not a manager. Not a genius coach. Just a man with the people he loves.
Because in the end, when the stadium lights go dark and the crowds go home, you understand something very simple:
Love matters more than football.
And for the first time in many years… I am ready to choose that.”
“Espero que mi hijo se convierta en abogado, médico o algo más, y que pueda ser feliz en su propio mundo. EL FÚTBOL NO ES UN LUGAR AGRADABLE, es un entorno muy difícil”.

Muy feliz de seguir siendo parte de este gran club un año más.
Con la misma ilusión y el mismo compromiso de siempre.
Gracias @OficialAMSyD y que sea nuevamente un gran año 🤞🏽🩵
Copian esos pasos que ya dimos,
porque envidian lo que hicimos sin la ayuda de papá.
Dicen que mi punk es muy soberbio,
poné al palo los estéreos en el barrio y la ciudad.
Yo no estoy enfermo,
y aunque te digan que estoy muerto, soy eterno.
