I respect his decisions, but football without Messi is not football. It is very hard to imagine football without him.
Leo Messi is a little football God. I love playing alongside him. We understand each other without needing to talk.
Without Messi there isn't a team for Argentina, Messi is brilliant, different, with a strong mentality. Let's hope he doesn't change.
Messi is in a different world. He is the best player in world football, without any doubt.
Messi or Cristiano - Speed? Cristiano. Shot? Cristiano. Dribbling? Messi. Intelligence? Messi. Talent? Messi. Winner is Messi!
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.
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.
Messi and Ronaldo have dominated world football for a decade and, given the nature of football, at a certain point the baton will have to pass to someone else. I think Neymar has a great chance of filling that role.
I'm Messi Football Club.
Messi is the Mozart of football.
Messi is incredible and his history in football is marvellous.
When Messi plays the ball, everybody expects many things from him. Sometimes it's too much because we have to let Messi breathe a bit.
I can't believe anyone can have played the game of football as well as Messi.
My wife doesn't like Football but she watches it just for Messi.
Messi deserves to win this World Cup for all he has done for football.
Without sounding biased, 70 days of football is not enough. Even if Messi plays 70 days he cannot be in the national team. You need to play around the year to be in contention for the national team.
