Leo Messi:  I never set out to be the best player in history. I think I'm just another player. On the pitch we are all the same and when the game starts I always try to improve myself.

Messi: "My intention is that when I retire, I will be remembered for being a good person, not as a good player."

Messi: "I'm counting days for the World Cup, there is a little anxiety and nerves of wanting it to be already. I don’t think Argentina are top favorites, because there are some teams who are above us, but we will fight against anyone."

Messi: "I never think about what happened or what I achieved. I’m always looking forward, I think about what’s coming, what can we become in the opportunity we have and what it would be in the future."

Messi: "When we won Copa América I couldn't believe it, I didn’t know how to explain it but it was like saying... 'That's it, what I needed was given'... it was one of the goals I needed to try to close everything."

Messi: "If I weren't, I would always have the thorn of the lost finals, of not having been able to consecrate myself with Argentina and at that moment, in that image in which you see me kneeling, I thought... 'It is done'."

Messi: "Becoming a coach? I don't really intend to be a coach, but Zidane said exactly that and after that, he became a coach and won the Champions League 3 times."

Messi: "I would like to be the sporting director of a club, to build a team, to accompany the coaches, but I'm not sure about that."
