More quotes by Lionel Messi
Goals are only important if they win games
Lionel Messi
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.
Lionel Messi
We know that we are close to making history.
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
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
I just get on with my game and let the referees do their job.
Lionel Messi
When my son will be born, my first goal will be for him. The rest, will be as always for my grandmother.
Lionel Messi
Being named among the best is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.
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
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
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.
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.
Lionel Messi
Motivation is not something I struggle with. I love playing football, I love being in training.
Lionel Messi
I always had the same style of play. I didn't really worry about people kicking me.
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
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
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.
Lionel Messi
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.
Lionel Messi
Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.
Lionel Messi
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
