Lionel Messi (PSG): "I left my family and friends to go to Barcelona. It was a big change. I grew up. I learned a lot. I studied at Barcelona." [movistar]

Messi: "At first I struggled at Barcelona. It was difficult to adapt in the dressing room. But my family and I decided to stay."

Messi: "I don't sleep at La Masia, but I stay there all day."

Messi: "One day, my dad asked me if I wanted to come back. I said 'no'. I've done the most difficult part, which is adapting."

Messi: "The Gamper game against Juventus changed everything. The vision the club had for me. Ronaldinho, Deco, Silvinho, as well as the players from La Masia, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, all saw me as one more in the dressing room."

Messi: "Too bad I didn't enjoy more days with Guardiola."

Messi: "Guardiola made us grow as a team. It feels like we will beat anyone."

Messi: "Guardiola is the best coach I've ever had. In terms of philosophy, Luis Enrique is very similar to Guardiola."

Messi: "Guardiola called me the day before El Clásico: 'Tomorrow you will play as a false nine. You don't have to be afraid to beat Real Madrid', he told me."

Messi: "When I came to Barcelona, communication with Antonela was very difficult. We called each other once a week. Then we were back in touch…"

Messi: "With Luis Enrique I had a spectacular relationship until the last day when we asked him to stay. Having him as coach was a very important part of my career."
