Messi mural about his company headquarters

"I don't live there, there are other firms there because it's just the tax headquarters, shared with my partner's other firm. There will be news reports tomorrow clarifying everything."

About company activities

"My company provides conference services to other businesses. I have never received a penny from any sports entity in my life, absolutely not. Tomorrow I will submit a bill to the Football Association and everything will be very clear. My company is paid by other companies that receive our services. We created a profile on LinkedIn to market our employment opportunities in the sports industry because I love sports and its values."

About actions on social networks

"I have nothing to hide and I closed my LinkedIn account because I don't want to be threatened like I am on social networks."

relationship with family

"My family is the most tortured, they are very worried and they know they cannot ask me to give up because it is impossible. After returning from Pamplona on Sunday, I went to visit them, especially my mother, who is 80 years old, and they cannot bear such slander. My parents have ten children and they do not deserve to be treated like this. I did not make a statement and it was all unbearable."

Requests for players or media

"I hope they treat us with the same respect as they treat other players and clubs. We are extremely professional and have worked hard to reach our current position. We are the people who most want to be better understood. We are not a special group, we demand respect. We are professionals with families, and we do not want to make mistakes. Before the invention of robots, there will always be mistakes. As long as Jose Munuela continues to be a referee, there will be mistakes. VAR was not invented by us, it was brought by the team."
