Messi is the real deal when it comes to Number 10s. He represents a type of football that transcends borders.
The No. 33 represents my own rise in football. It was the number of the first shirt that I wore at Palmeiras, so I feel a real affection for it.
A team championship doesn't happen because three people score 10s, it happens because all the guys score well. In my opinion, everyone deserved 10s, we're all 10s on this team.
Cristiano is an explosive type of player, with great technique, but he's still not as gifted as Messi in my opinion. Messi is more of a genius than Cristiano. Cristiano is so strong physically, so powerful, but Messi has more creativity.
There's players around the world that get assists from number 10s or wingers.
Football without Messi and Messi without football are not things that go together.
You do a deal - business deal, real estate deal, stock deal - protect yourself at all times. I got that from boxing. That's from A to Z: that covers everything in life. And it started when I heard it in the ring. They don't say that in basketball or football or any other sport that I know of but boxing.
Messi is the best player in the history of football, and that’s why I prefer Barça over Real Madrid.
In what transcends this world, the best is Messi because he is incredible: he does things that nobody can do.
I think, 'How could anybody mock a good pop song?' It is timeless; it transcends barriers; it breaks down every single type of social barrier that you can possibly have. It can deal with the most difficult subjects, even if it abstracts the subject matter.
Player I would like to sign for Internazionale? It's easy, the strongest in Europe at the moment is Lionel Messi, so I would say him. Messi has amazing qualities, he is the best of all, number one. That is unquestiionable.
I respect his decisions, but football without Messi is not football. It is very hard to imagine football without him.
Sports is something that transcends generations, transcends backgrounds, cultures, races. And so the power of sports is real.
Messi or Cristiano - Speed? Cristiano. Shot? Cristiano. Dribbling? Messi. Intelligence? Messi. Talent? Messi. Winner is Messi!
I wanted to make something that transcends borders and gets beyond this feeling of national identity.
I've seen the player who will inherit my place in Argentinian football and his name is Messi... He's a leader and is offering classes in beautiful football.
A lot of the 'leave' campaign was centered around a thinly veiled xenophobia, just 'control our own borders.' It's not a good look. I don't think it represents Britain; I don't think it represents the U.K. all too well. It breaks my heart for my generation in Britain who are going to suffer.
