Pep Guardiola admits to being "hurt" by images of child victims of conflict zones as he calls for action on global issues.
The Manchester City manager, who missed media duties last Friday after speaking in support of Palestinian children at a charity concert, spoke passionately about the need to speak out against injustices worldwide.
Guardiola referenced conflicts in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, and even recent shootings by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the US. He said seeing such images "hurts me", but emphasized that it's not about right or wrong - it's about taking action to protect human life.
He used his platform to urge people to "rescue him" rather than judge, drawing parallels with the recent deaths of two US citizens at the hands of federal agents.
When asked why these subjects matter so much to him, Guardiola replied that he wants to use his position to help speak up for a better society.
