It takes sacrifice as well as talent.

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.

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

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.

The truth is my idea has been to always stay at Barcelona and see out the rest of my career here. Like I always say, one doesn't know what can happen in the future, but if it were up to me to decide, I would stay at Barcelona for the rest of my career.

I have changed nothing, my style of play is still that of a child. I know that above all it is my job and that I should approach it in another way, but one must not lose sight of the fact that football is a game. It is imperative one plays to amuse oneself, to be happy. That is what children do and I do the same thing.

I just get on with my game and let the referees do their job.
