More quotes by Lionel Messi
Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.
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
There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.
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
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 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
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
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
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
It's scoring goals that's great, whether against Brazil or anybody else.
Lionel Messi
Goals are only important if they win games
Lionel Messi
You have got to love the game.
Lionel Messi
I had said I didn't mind which shirt I played in, but coming from Diego, № 10 is very special.
Lionel Messi
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.
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
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.
Lionel Messi
You can overcome anything, if and only if you love something enough
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
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.
Lionel Messi
Sometimes you have to accept you can't win all the time.
