Luis Figo, Real Madrid icon and Barcelona villain, has been the latest football-related star to appear on the popular talk show ‘La Revuelta’ with David Broncano this week in the Spanish capital, where they have also appeared this season figures like Pedri and the Williams brothers. . He didn’t blink when faced with the most personal questions.
Figo, the man at the center of arguably the most controversial transfer in the history of the game, spoke on a number of topics, including Kylian Mbappé. He pointed out that at times the pressure makes it difficult to express himself on the field of play.
Figo, who has never been one to hold his tongue, also suggested that Spaniards are lazy, referring to an equally lazy stereotype. They asked him why, being so rich, he continued working.
“You have to produce. Someone has to work in this country. If you’ve had schedules and a routine all your life… if you like to produce. It’s about being a businessman, about being successful, it’s about doing things well, it’s about generating employment, I like the feeling of doing things well,” he explained, quoted by Marca.

When asked about Spanish and Portuguese unification, Figo responded with a twinkle in his eye.
“I am Portuguese and I pay [taxes] here… it would be good if they joined, but it depends on who can govern.”
Broncano famously always asks his guests about their love lives and how much money they have in the bank.
“It depends on how much the Treasury values my properties. I have more than you think and less than what I want. Between 20 and 50 million euros…”
Figo went ahead and answered both, although guests are usually given the choice between the two.
“None, I work a lot,” the 52-year-old man responded when asked how many times he has had sex in the last month.
