Pep Guardiola refused to back down. Criticized after commenting on several international conflicts, the Manchester City manager defended his right to speak out, insisting he would not be silenced when it comes to issues he considers human and universal.

The Manchester Jewish Representative Council responded publicly, suggesting the Spanish coach should “stick to football.” This statement further fueled the controversy surrounding the Catalan coach's remarks, which some observers deemed too politically charged.

Guardiola, however, stands firm. He reiterated his condemnation of all violence, mentioning Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan, and emphasized that he does not rank suffering. This bold stance confirms the City manager’s determination not to completely separate sport from social conscience.
