You cannot allow your desire to be a winner to be diminished by achieving success before and I believe there is room for improvement in every sportsman.

More quotes by Lionel Messi

Image
I always thought about carrying on training and working, chasing my dream.
Lionel Messi
Image
I've never stopped being Argentine, and I've never wanted to. I feel very proud of being Argentine, even though I left there. I've been clear about this since I was very young, and I never wanted to change.
Lionel Messi
Image
Fatherhood changes you completely. If things didn't go my way before, I became withdrawn and didn't want to see or listen to anyone. Now, when I arrive home, I see my son and everything is OK. He's the most important thing to me now.
Lionel Messi
Image
The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.
Lionel Messi
Image
My ambition is always to get better and better.
Lionel Messi
Image
We are at a good level. Our secret is that we play the same way against each opponent.
Lionel Messi
Image
I always thought I wanted to play professionally, and I always knew that to do that I'd have to make a lot of sacrifices. I made sacrifices by leaving Argentina, leaving my family to start a new life. I changed my friends, my people. Everything. But everything I did, I did for football, to achieve my dream.

Image
I'm lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.
Lionel Messi
Image
You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.
Lionel Messi
Image
It takes sacrifice as well as talent.
Lionel Messi
Image
I just get on with my game and let the referees do their job.
Lionel Messi
Image
I have fun like a child in the street. When the day comes when I'm not enjoying it, I will leave football.
Lionel Messi
Image
I know how important it is to have a helping hand. In my childhood I had difficult times because of hormonal problems. If I hadn't had support, I wouldn't have been able to fulfill my dreams.
Lionel Messi
Image
Being named among the best is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.
Lionel Messi
Image
I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.
Lionel Messi
Image
Like I've said many times before, I'm always more likely to remember goals for their importance rather than if they're beautiful or not. Goals scored in finals, for example.
Lionel Messi
Image
There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a happy and smiling child. I always help in any way I can, even if it's just by signing an autograph. A child's smile is worth more than all the money in the world.
Lionel Messi
Image
It's crazy to say that after three games [without a goal] I was in crisis. I do not care whether I score or not, what matters is that the team win and continue to do so.
Lionel Messi
Image
Motivation is not something I struggle with. I love playing football, I love being in training.
Lionel Messi
Image
Today I am the happiest man in the world, my son was born and thanks to God for this gift.
