Spanish Newspaper Compares Pep Guardiola with Nazi Leader

El PaĆs opinion piece attacks the coach for his involvement in Catalan independence
Former FC Barcelona and current Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been dubbed āPep Goebbelsdiolaā by Teodoro LeĆ³n Gross, writing in El PaĆs. Joseph Goebbels was the Nazi governmentās minister of propaganda until his suicide when the Axis powers lost the war.
āPep Guardiola gladly assumes the role of Pep Goebbelsdiola as a propagandist of the Catalan process mantras, faking reality with aplomb,ā writes LeĆ³n Gross. In his opinion piece, āGuardiolaās Lies,ā the writer attacks the coach for his role in the Catalan independence movement.
The opinion piece has caused outrage in Catalonia and beyond. Another journalist, Pilar Rahola, wrote that the article was āa dark moment for journalism.ā Meanwhile, former FC Barcelona youth player Marc Crosas took to Twitter to write āRIP El PaĆs,ā charging that the paper has dropped massively in quality and calling it āshameful.ā
Ariel Kanievsky, a Jewish history professor, also commented via Twitter, calling it āa quite disgusting banalization of the holocaustā to make the comparison.
