‘Hard to choose’ - Deco gives his verdict on the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina

"I always go with my own people, but my people are everywhere. Leo is always one of us. In the end, it's hard to choose," he told Cope.

"On one side, there's Leo, who, besides being a friend, has given everything to those of us who are Barça fans and football fans. He's a legend. For me, what he's doing is spectacular. On the other side, there are the lads, our Barça lads. It's always tough, difficult. That's why we'll be paying close attention to everything tomorrow. I think it's going to be a spectacular final.

"Spain, after the semi-final, is playing well. Argentina is winning matches, and Leo is playing spectacularly. That's why I think it will be a great final.

"Both teams have fantastic players. Spain is playing well and Argentina has struggled in some matches, but ultimately it comes down to the heart of the team."
