Pep Guardiola says that he would have chosen to play for the Catalan national team had it existed when he was playing.
The Bayern Munich boss won 47 caps for Spain during his playing career, winning Olympic gold with La Roja.
The Catalan side exists now, but as it is not recognised by Fifa, players are free to feature for it and Spain simultaneously.
"If there'd been a Catalan state, I would have played for the Catalan national team because I'm from Santpedor,” he is quoted as saying by Marca.
Guardiola, though, says that he has no qualms about airing his views.
"If someone is bothered by my participation in the process, it is their problem,” he added.
