England's Manchester City Spanish coach Josep Guardiola said that the match to be played tomorrow between Catalonia and Palestine is more than just a symbolic match.
In a statement to Spain's RAC1 radio regarding the Catalonia-Palestine struggle, Guardiola said, "This is much more than just a symbolic match. Everything is already known. Palestinians will see that part of the world is thinking of them through this match."
"FILL THE STANDS"
Calling on football fans to fill the stands, Guardiola stated, "Symbolism helps raise awareness, but there needs to be something actionable behind it. There is always a reason to make a statement, and right now it is a football match. It is better for Palestinians to think that we are there for a while and that the stadium brings them joy."
PALESTINE LEFT ALONE
The experienced coach emphasized that Palestine has been left alone, saying, "We did nothing. It is not their fault that they were born there. We all allowed their entire people to be destroyed. The damage has already been done and cannot be repaired. I cannot imagine a person in this world who can justify the massacres in Gaza. Our children could be there and could be killed just for being born there. I trust leaders very little. They do whatever it takes to stay in power."
The Palestine National Team will play a solidarity match against the Catalonia National Team tomorrow at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona.
