Image
We are at a good level. Our secret is that we play the same way against each opponent.
Lionel Messi
Image
Many years ago when I first started my career Maradona told me to enjoy and play as you know, and that's stayed with me ever since and is the best advice I've been given.
Lionel Messi
Image
I never think about the play or visualize anything. I do what comes to me at that moment. Instinct. It has always been that way.
Lionel Messi
Image
You have to show up in the World Cup, and in the World Cup anything can happen.
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
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.

Image
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.
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.

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 If things didn't go my way before, I became withdrawn and didn't want to see or listen to anyone.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
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
You know as a player that you won’t have many opportunities to play in World Cups - so you have to take them when you can.
Lionel Messi
Image
You have got to love the game.
Lionel Messi
Image
I always had the same style of play. I didn't really worry about people kicking me.
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
I want to concentrate on winning things with Barcelona and Argentina. Then if people want to say nice things about me when I have retired, great. Right now, I need to concentrate on being part of a team - not just on me.
Lionel Messi
Image
It's scoring goals that's great, whether against Brazil or anybody else.
Lionel Messi
Image
I had said I didn't mind which shirt I played in, but coming from Diego, № 10 is very special.
Lionel Messi
Image
I never had any problems with my height. I was always the smallest kid, at school and in my teams.
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
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.
