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

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

It is not coincidence that at Barcelona we have low-key lifestyles and we have been successful. We know we are football players and not movie stars.

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.

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 If things didn't go my way before, I became withdrawn and didn't want to see or listen to anyone.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

When my son will be born, my first goal will be for him. The rest, will be as always for my grandmother.

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.

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

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

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.

You have got to love the game.

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

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.

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.

I am more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world
