When the year starts the objective is to win it all with the team, personal records are secondary.

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.

From Lionel Messi

The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.

From Lionel Messi

Every year I try to grow as a player and not get stuck in a rut. I try to improve my game in every way possible. But that trait is not something I've worked on, it's part of me.

From 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.

From Lionel Messi

I repeat what I always say: I want the best for Argentina in every way. I never try to make trouble for anybody.

From Lionel Messi

Being named among the best at something is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.

From Lionel Messi

Today I am the happiest man in the world, my son was born and thanks to God for this gift.

From 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.

From Lionel Messi

Whether it's a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game - I play the same. I'm always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.
