"Y ganar, y ganar, y ganar, y volver a ganar, y ganar, y ganar, y ganar, y eso es el fútbol, señores".

Xavi Hernández: “Luis was football personified. For me, he is the most important person that the Spanish game has ever known. He was the man who changed the way the national team played. He was a brave man and a dedicated man, a great human being. He was always direct with me and I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life. It’s a great loss for football and for life in general. I send my best regards to his family. I think that Spanish football should organize something to honour him for the extraordinary guy he was”.

Marcos Senna: “Luis Aragonés was a father, a brother, a friend, an idol, a football legend. Those who knew him, admired him and today is a sad day for us”.

David Villa: “This is a very sad day, one of the greats leaves us. Thanks you for teaching me how to become the man I am today”.

Pepe Reina: “What sad news. Rest in peace boss. I feel proud to have been one of “your people” as you always used to say. We’ll never forget you. Thank you for everything! Simply one of the greatest, a genius, A WISE MAN... what memories you have left us!”
