Welcome to The Athletic FC's YouTube channel, where best-in-class journalism meets video.

What's the craziest thing that Pep Guardiola has said to Thiago Alcantara? What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to Thiago? What's one thing Lionel Messi is bad at?

Welcome to Truth or Padel, the new limited series where host David Ornstein takes on footballers and asks them questions that we wouldn't ask in a normal interview.
