I've never stopped being Argentine, and I've never wanted to. I feel very proud of being Argentine, even though I left there. I've been clear about this since I was very young, and I never wanted to change. (Lionel Messi)
I knew that at some point God was going to give it to me and I don't know why, but I felt it was going to be like this. Once again he made me very happy. View quote

Messi is a joke. For me, the best ever. View quote
Lionel Messi
Leo is from another planet. What makes him the best is that other great players have had ups and downs, like Maradona. He wasn't half of what Leo is at Barça. Messi has had so many good years in his career that he deserves to be considered the best ever. View quote

It's something for me that I can tell my kids that I've played against Messi when we watch him on television. For me he's got everything. He is magical to watch. When I finish and look back, and he will still be going strong, I will be able to say to myself I tested myself against the best. And quite clearly, for me, he is the best ever. He's a great individual player but a great person as well and a credit to football. View quote
Lionel Messi
He's been by far and away the best footballer in the world for the last five or six years. He's the best player of all time and if he stays fit he will continue for the next five or six years. The things he does right now are out of this world. Of course, he doesn't play by himself, but he is simply incredible. He always finds a way and is always a yard quicker than everyone else. If you have a player like that on your side, you needn't fear anyone. View quote

This award says I'm the best player in the world, but I'm not even the best player at Barcelona. View quote
Lionel Messi
I see Messi every time he grabs the ball and accelerates. But he is shy, like a little brother who likes to hang out with PlayStation rather than talk. We must protect him. I'd personally put him in a drawer of my bedside table. View quote
Lionel Messi
Leo floats over the field - sometimes you have the sensation he's not even there, that he's hiding. But he's there and the rival knows it. View quote
Lionel Messi
For me, to watch Messi play is a pleasure – it's like having an orgasm – it's an incredible pleasure. (Lionel Messi)
He is probably the best player of the last 20 years. He is such a slippery player. Because of his height and quickness he is difficult to pin down and his balance is exceptional. View quote
