Former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola said the people of the city will "stand up" after the terror attacks that left 14 people dead and over 100 injured.


"I am sure the city and country will stand up and move on," the Manchester City manager said. "I just wish it doesn't happen again in Barcelona or in the whole world. Obviously I am affected," said Guardiola.

"My best message is for the families and victims. La Ramblas is an important place in the history of Barcelona. Of course the thoughts are for the people who died in difficult conditions. It happened in France, in London and unfortunately it happened in Barcelona.

"We don't know, but Barcelona, we wake up and we show them what a beautiful country it is. Catalonia and Spain, all the best for the future."

Barcelona's players and coaching staff held a minute's silence before training on Friday in tribute to the victims of the atrocity.
