Present in front of journalists before the trip to San Sebastián to face Real Sociedad (04.11, 9 p.m.) for the 11th day of La Liga, the FC Barcelona coach returned to the winners of the Ballon d’Or ceremony, congratulating Spanish midfielder Aitana Bonmati, but also his former Blaugrana teammate Lionel Messi, believing that his victory is not heresy for the one who is, according to him, the best player in the history of football.

“In Spain, everything is controversial. With Aitana (Bonmati, editor’s note), there is no debate. Aitana’s importance in the game is spectacular, with this DNA that is so much ours. It’s a spectacle to see her perform. Leo’s reward is well deserved. Best player of the World Cup. He is the best in history. I spoke to him this week, he was very happy”declared the 43-year-old Spanish technician at a press conference.
