Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola commented on the situation in Palestine and supported the holding of a friendly match between the national teams of Catalonia and Palestine. Sport24.az reports that the famous expert made a statement to RAC1 radio station about this:
"The world has abandoned Palestine. We haven't really done anything. The people there are not guilty of anything. They were just born here. We have all turned a blind eye to the destruction of an entire nation. What is happening is an irreversible evil.
I find it difficult to imagine anyone we can justify in relation to what is happening in Gaza. Our children could have been in these places and would have been killed simply because of where they were born. I have almost no trust in the leaders. They are ready for anything to protect power.
Symbolic steps are important. These steps help to focus attention there. But after them, real work must be done."
It should be noted that the game in question will be held today. The Palestinian national team has previously met with the Basque national team and lost with a score of 0:3.
