Messi is the best player on the planet and he keeps on improving at Barça, now the best team in the world. What Messi does on and off the pitch is an inspiration for children who dream of becoming a footballer.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of baseball.

My success has a lot to do with my private life. I've matured a lot by first becoming a husband and now a father. My life is in the right direction. And that helps a player to thrive. One thing is linked with the other. My private life has helped me.

I know that success does not come at once, it is not a thing achieved overnight. It is the result of many, many, many years of working and trying to achieve goals.

I always try to adjust to the situation.

I embraced, I think, the process of becoming No. 1 of the world, which was long and difficult, but it's sweeter in the end.

Joking around is part of my personality, just who I am.
