00:00It's quite hard for all of us to follow the news from home over here, but I'm sure you'll have
00:03seen what's happening with FIFA and the World Cup.
00:06I just wanted to ask if someone has won it and your country has won it again, your feeling towards
00:11what's happening with FIFA and the World Cup?
00:13I think that football has to be for the people, not in private hands.
00:20And I think that the way we love it is this way and we have seen a great World Cup
00:26and some things that they stay the same way.
00:29It's good, so to defend the interests from all the people.
00:33My question was similar as well, Xavi. It's quite extraordinary, you actually standing up to FIFA the way it is.
00:39Do you think that was necessary to protect the integrity of football in Europe and also what's already a pretty
00:44packed calendar?
00:45I think that it's the common feeling of football people that we want something that we keep in the hands
00:53of everyone, that it's for all the people.
00:55So hopefully it won't happen and we will keep the game as attractive and as authentic as we like it.
01:09And that's why it creates these emotions, these passions we've seen in the World Cup.
01:16But you've seen in the Champions League, you will see in the Premier League, in all the competitions because it's
01:20for everyone.
01:21And the more we keep it, I know it's one part, but once you start with the 20s, you finish
01:28with the 51s and we don't want that.
