Messi continues...
"When I was little, I always asked for something football related. A jersey, a ball, boots... My parents did everything to make me happy." #FCB 



Messi goes on...
"I even remember receiving a ball that was very expensive, the official ball of the league. My father and mother always did their best." #FCB 



Messi continues...
"I'm not someone who talks a lot to the media, I prefer to talk more with people close to me." #FCB


Messi goes on...
"I am a man of my word, I promised you the interview. I wanted to talk today." #FCB 



Messi talks more about his personal life...
"Playing on the PlayStation? I stopped playing. It's more Thiago who plays. Before, I played all day long. After his birth, I stopped everything and then I played with him from time to time." #FCB 



Messi continues...
"I admire many athletes: LeBron, Nadal, Federer. There's Cristiano in football. There are lots of athletes who give their best to succeed." #FCB 



Messi talks about Barcelona...
“Barcelona is my entire life. I lived everything here, more than in Argentina. I have a love relationship with this club and with this city.” #FCB 



Messi continues...
“The club has formed me, as a player and as a person. I give everything for Barcelona. I have a love relationship." #FCB 





Messi goes on...
"Today I'm okay. It took a while before I started to feel well. I'm eager, and wanting to fight for all the titles that we compete for." #FCB 



Messi on Barcelona's current situation...
"The club are in a difficult situation. It's difficult for everyone. It's going to be very hard to be where we once were." #FCB


Messi continues...
"I don't concern myself about what people say, everyone has their own opinion." #FCB


Messi on if he has cried lately...
"I didn't cry because of sports issues, but I did suffer a lot. I did cry on other issues, but I prefer not to go into details." #FCB 



Messi continues...
“A lot people talk without knowing anything. People believe them because they are the ones who bring the news on TV or in the papers. “RMC” is a media-outlet who talked a lot of false stuff.” #FCB 



Messi talks about his arrival in Barcelona...
"It was a difficult moment, because I was 13 years old and I was leaving everything behind me. Friends, the country...I was coming to a place where no one knew me." #FCB


Messi continues...
"At that time I was shy, like stuck in a shell. I only thought about achieving my dream." #FCB 



Messi on his son Thiago...
"Thiago is shy, he doesn't like it that everyone is talking to him, but he's getting used to everything." #FCB


Messi on how he spends time with his children...
"I do anything! When you play football or other sports. When they come to bed wake me up: I love everything." #FCB 



Messi on his life...
"My life is very normal and sometimes boring. I get up, have breakfast, take the kids to school, I train, I go back." #FCB


Messi on if his kids complain about teachers getting close to them because they are his sons...
"Yes, they do, it bothers Thiago a lot, he is a shy kid and he doesn't like these kinds of things." #FCB


Messi continues...
“I am a privileged person for everything I have experienced and for everything I live. But sometimes I want to be anonymous, sometimes I would like to go see a movie anonymously, or go to a restaurant.” #FCB


Messi goes on...
"I will always be grateful because the love that everyone gives me is spectacular." #FCB 



Messi on playing in an empty stadium...
"It's horrible. Everything feels very cold, the feeling it gives me is very bad. Everything is different and you can see it back in the results.” #FCB 



Messi talks about this season's schedule...
"One doesn't think about the athlete. It's seen more for the economic interest than for the sport or the game." #FCB
