If Messi is on top form, then his team can win everything.
I can win the Ballon d'Or, but only if Messi's level drops a bit. It will be very complicated to do so if he keeps up his current form. I really believe I can win the award, but there's not much I can do if Messi maintains this level.
Messi is so good that he can win La Liga even with a mediocre team, which is not the case. Barca remain up top every year because of him.
As a player, you want to win everything as much as you can. If you're a footballer, you're a winner. When you then step up to the first team and you win something with them, that feeling is multiplied massively because you're at the top of the club and now you're winning so you want it more and more.
Messi plays in Spain, we know he makes a difference, but if you've played against him then maybe you're aware of situations that can repeat on the pitch. But Messi is Messi, with his talent, he may send a spark with very little and make the difference. He is unpredictable.
In top form, Messi is the best footballer I have ever seen - period.
The things I felt Baltimore would give me is a team that gives everything for each other and a team that wants to win and has a goal to win a Super Bowl every year.
I admire Messi: he's never complained to me in any game we played, but I've also never asked him for his jersey and never would. I came to win, not to say I played against Messi.
I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team; I believe in my team. I did everything in my power every night to win that game.
For the world of football, Messi is a treasure because he is role model for children around the world... Messi will be the player to win the most Ballons d'Or in history. He will win five, six, seven. He is incomparable. He's in a different league.
Creating a top team and being in a position to win the Tour de France will give me a nice feeling. But I know it is not easy to create a top team from zero. You need good riders, good staff, a lot of preparation and, most important, a lot of sponsors.
Casillas saying he wouldn't sign Messi for Madrid? Messi has a place in every team in the world.
Without Messi there isn't a team for Argentina, Messi is brilliant, different, with a strong mentality. Let's hope he doesn't change.
What Messi brings to a team, no other player can bring. Messi can break a match wide open.
Messi is the best in the world. Cristiano is a goalscorer. Messi is more taltented, more complete, tactically and footballwise. Cristiano isn't doing those runs anymore like at United. Messi takes more part in the game, I'd always prefer him in my team.
You want to win everything possible and you try it every year, but you can't win everything, we know this as well but we have to play good football, we have to get the best of our team.
If I have team-mates who can win individual accolades, then I will do everything to help them.
