The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.
Lionel Messi
Image
There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.
Lionel Messi
Image
The Barcelona youth program is one of the best in the world. As a kid, they teach you not to play to win, but to grow in ability as a player.
Lionel Messi
Image
Motivation is not something I struggle with. I love playing football, I love being in training.
Lionel Messi
Image
I don't need the best hairstyle or the best body. Just give me a ball at my feet and I'll show you what I can do.
Lionel Messi

It seems like people want to blame me for everything. Whenever any issue arises, I'm said to have been involved even if I've had nothing to do with it. That's why I always focus on what I know, which is playing football, and try to be very careful with what I say because people always try and twist things.

The truth is my idea has been to always stay at Barcelona and see out the rest of my career here. Like I always say, one doesn't know what can happen in the future, but if it were up to me to decide, I would stay at Barcelona for the rest of my career.

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.

You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.

Goals are only important if they win games
Lionel Messi
Image
The truth is that I don't have a favourite goal. I remember important goals more than I do favourite goals, like goals in the Champions League where I had the opportunity to have scored in both finals I have played in. Finals in the World Cup or Copa del Rey are the ones that have stayed with me for longer or that I remember more.

It's not so easy for us when we play teams who have a different mindset, like Chelsea or Inter Milan, because they have the intention of trying to stop us rather than playing a game that is more attractive for the spectators to enjoy.
Lionel Messi
Image
I always had the same style of play. I didn't really worry about people kicking me.
Lionel Messi
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 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.
Lionel Messi
Image
I've always really just liked football, and I've always devoted a lot of time to it. When I was a kid, my friends would call me to go out with them, but I would stay home because I had practice the next day. I like going out, but you have to know when you can and when you can't.

You have got to love the game.

Sometimes you have to accept you can't win all the time.

FROM THE FIRST DAY YOU ARE TOLD IF YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST THEN STAY OUT THE NIGHTCLUBS!

I always thought about carrying on training and working, chasing my dream.
