The former Barcelona midfielder has hailed and stated his admiration for Manchester United former players Bryan Robson and Eric Cantona.
"Going further back, there was Bryan Robson, who I admired as a great fighter, and the legendary Eric Cantona."
"England breathes football in a way Spain doesn't. The English game is an example of how to act, because you never cheat."
"You're noble, even in defeat. Look at Bobby Robson as Barcelona coach - a true gentleman."
"No one had a bad word to say about him. You're an example of the game's traditions."
He also compared the current Barcelona team to the Manchester United team managed by Sir Alex Ferguson.
"In the same way that this Barcelona team are a reference point for Europe, Alex Ferguson's Man United were worldwide references for years."
