More quotes by Lionel Messi
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.
Lionel Messi
We have demonstrated that we are the best, I'm also happy because everyone seems to enjoy our football, whether or not they are Barca fans. All over the world, I've heard people saying that they have been enchanted by us. This type of football deserves to be rewarded with titles.
Lionel Messi
Goals are only important if they win games
Lionel Messi
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
There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.
Lionel Messi
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
You have got to love the game.
Lionel Messi
I just get on with my game and let the referees do their job.
Lionel Messi
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.
Lionel Messi
Ronaldo was my hero. I loved watching players like Zidane, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, but Ronaldo was the best striker I've ever seen. He was so fast he could score from nothing and could shoot the ball better than anyone I've ever seen.
Lionel Messi
I always had the same style of play. I didn't really worry about people kicking me.
Lionel Messi
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Lionel Messi
The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.
Lionel Messi
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
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.
