Of course money takes that worry out of your life and enables you to provide for your family - but if it was playing professional football for free or choose another living, then I would choose football every time.

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
Image
Motivation is not something I struggle with. I love playing football, I love being in training.
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
I had said I didn't mind which shirt I played in, but coming from Diego, № 10 is very special.

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

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

Image
It takes sacrifice as well as talent.

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.

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

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 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.

Image
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
Image
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.

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

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

My ambition is always to get better and better.

I'm lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.
