Quote

Barcelona is my life. They have brought me to where I am today. I could not leave, I don't want to leave. I know the Premier League is very good. But I cannot see myself playing in England because my heart is with Barcelona, always.

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

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.

It takes sacrifice as well as talent.

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 If things didn't go my way before, I became withdrawn and didn't want to see or listen to anyone.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.

Image
I am the same person as always and I have the good fortune to play in a great team. It was an historic year for Barca and for me but it's thanks to the work of everyone.
Lionel Messi
Image
I always had the same style of play. I didn't really worry about people kicking me.

Motivation is not something I struggle with. I love playing football, I love being in training.
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.

I don't look at records, that's not why I'm playing the game. Goals, of course. Every player in my position wants to score goals. But most of all, trophies. My target is always to win trophies for Barcelona, and that will always be my motivation, to win things. Nothing feels better than doing that as a team.

We are at a good level. Our secret is that we play the same way against each opponent.
Lionel Messi
Image
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.

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.

There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.
Lionel Messi

I have fun like a child in the street. When the day comes when I'm not enjoying it, I will leave football.

We know that we are close to making history.

Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.
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.

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.

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.

Being named among the best is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.
