The Barcelona youth program is one of the best in the world. As a kid, they teach you not to play to win, but to grow in ability as a player.
You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.
I go out and do the best I can in each game, and I don’t think about the fouls other players will commit or whether I might be injured. It only does you harm to worry about those things.
Being named among the best is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.
I still have a lot of room for improvement. For example, I want to shoot equally well with both feet.
My family was always present when I needed them and sometimes felt even stronger emotions than me.
There’s no doubt. It’s certain that I’ll be 100 percent.
Barcelona is my life. They have brought me to where I am today. I could not leave, I don’t want to leave. I know the Premier League is very good. But I cannot see myself playing in England because my heart is with Barcelona, always.
For my part, I try to do my bit to make people’s lives more bearable, in particular children across the globe who are having problems.
I repeat what I always say: I want the best for Argentina in every way. I never try to make trouble for anybody.
I use Herbalife products on and off the field for energy and focus. That way I can play my best game.
You have got to love the game.
It’s scoring goals that’s great, whether against Brazil or anybody else.
When my son will be born, my first goal will be for him. The rest, will be as always for my grandmother.
Sometimes you have to accept you can’t win all the time.
I am the happiest man alive and I am happy for myself, for my family and for my country.
I always thought about carrying on training and working, chasing my dream.
My style of play has always been the same. I never tried to develop a specific style. From very young I just played this way.
I never had any problems with my height. I was always the smallest kid, at school and in my teams.
My first memories are from when I was very little, maybe three or four years old playing in my neighbourhood at home. I can picture myself with the ball at my feet from a very young age.
