Messi: "Sólo me iré de Barcelona cuando ya no sea bueno, o cuando no me quieran"

"I would only leave Barcelona when I am no longer good or they don't want me"

I think when he has nothing to say he says this. example they ask who is better you or pele, he says this

#Xavi has not provided an assist on a #Messi goal in LaLiga since 01/05/10 [19 months] !!!

Not that surprising actually.

Messi gets so many goals because of his own work and the ones he gets assists from are usually out wide with low crosses or passes.

Xavi is playing people in behind, like Pedro, Alves or Villa.

thats why people rate him high and he will get ballon dors even if his team fails in next seasons

Magical touch from messi

"I dream of being a father," he told Argentine magazine Caras.

Messi has won numerous pieces of silverware on both a personal and collective level at Barcelona, but admits without the presence of his family he would have struggled to cope with the pressures of top-level football.

"In football, you are faced with many questions and can easily become unsettled. Having the support of my family made everything easier," he continued.

"My family were always near me and often said [family support] was essential and very important for my career, especially towards achieving my goals, which is most difficult. You can get many doubts and become disrupted by everything that happens."

The diminutive No.10 is also renowned for living a far more tranquil life in comparison to some of his peers, and made no secret that he prefers to live out of the spotlight - while devoting less of his time to video games.

"The truth is I live a very normal life," Messi continued. "I'd rather live quietly at home, and when I have to go shopping, I get it done without any problems.

"I got tired of the Playstation and play very little now. I have to meet many expectations of myself," he concluded.

win 2 more ballon dors then be a mother if you want

This video is good answer for cr fanboys who say messi needs xaviesta.
Messi got 7 assists from xavi+iniesta , ronaldo got 17 assists from Ozil+Di Maria last season

Never knew he could do this.

Of course he can, but he doesn't seem to have much of an interest for the flashy.

Where do these people come from? :lol!:

Found a cool image in a madrid forum of the superclasico. It kind of shows what it takes to defend him

The image was posted somewhere before, it's from the supercup, not the clasico... but why is a Madrid player "erased" in that picture?

I saw that picture too lol.

I wonder who Mourinho thought the threat in Barcelona was...

BarrileteCosmico wrote:The image was posted somewhere before, it's from the supercup, not the clasico... but why is a Madrid player "erased" in that picture?

It's not a player, It's the name "tiago alcantara"

I don't really know why it was there or why it was removed though
