You know as a player that you won’t have many opportunities to play in World Cups - so you have to take them when you can.

We have demonstrated that we are the best, I'm also happy because everyone seems to enjoy our football, whether or not they are Barca fans. All over the world, I've heard people saying that they have been enchanted by us. This type of football deserves to be rewarded with titles.

Argentina is my country, my family, my way of expressing myself. I would trade all of my records for the World Cup trophy.

There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.

Every year I try to grow as a player and not get stuck in a rut. I try to improve my game in every way possible. But that trait is not something I've worked on, it's part of me.

It seems like people want to blame me for everything. Whenever any issue arises, I'm said to have been involved even if I've had nothing to do with it. That's why I always focus on what I know, which is playing football, and try to be very careful with what I say because people always try and twist things.

Sometimes you have to accept you can't win all the time.
