Valverde: "I'm not afraid that people will expect Barçato win the treble. They may say we have a chance to do it, but it's very far away. Passion comes to the fore when you win and the opposite happens when you lose, our players just need to focus on continuing in this way."

Valverde: "I'd love [finishing unbeaten], but why talk about it now? We could lose our next game, we just have to wait and see what happens. The rest of the season is very tough, but we know if we maintain this form we'll be closer to our goal."

Valverde: "[Dembele] has immense qualities, but I think he still has a lot of room for improvement. He is learning our game, it varies according to whether we play one system or another. I think he's taken important positive steps in recent weeks." [Marca]

What will you do when you retire?

Messi: "Everyone says its very difficult and I have no doubt about that. It's very difficult to stop training... and playing. I don't know what I'm going to do, or where I will live. I would like to do everything that I could not before.

Messi: "I don't know if I will stay in Barcelona or Rosario... I have no clue what I'm going to do."

Messi: "Whether I play well or not isn't even about the goals. it's about being participative on the pitch, getting the ball frequently, make good decisions, not lose balls, it's never about scoring goals.''

EXCERPTS FROM MESSI'S INTERVIEW

Messi: "Losing and drawing are the same thing. That's what I have set my mind to."

Messi: "Achieving the World Cup is my dream and its my main objective, but I have to win trophies with Barça first. After the end of the season, it will be World Cup time and I will try to fulfill the wishes of the Argentine people and my teammates."
Messi: "I suffer a lot and I'm very sorry for what Argentina is today."

Messi: "The reality of my country is insecurity. I look at tomorrow and I think about returning to Rosario and enjoying my city because I was not able to do that as a kid. I had to come to Barcelona, something that I don't regret, but I'm worried about Argentina."

Messi: "Robberies happen all over the world, but its crazy to think that it could happen to you as well. I knows it's not impossible, but I remember I was out on the street all day and nothing happened."

When was the last time you cried?

Messi: "I cried with joy when Mateo was born. Thiago was a complicated birth, not everything went as expected. Mateo's birth was calmer, and the news of the third was huge happiness too."

Messi: "Thiago loves football. He goes to a football school made by Barça where all the children of my teammates play."

Messi: "There was a time where comments affected and criticized me badly. That was then, not much now. They were saying things out of place, that had nothing to do with football. When people talk about my private life and in reality, nothing happens, that makes me angry."

Messi: "Achieving the World Cup is my dream and its my main objective, but I have to win trophies with Barça first. After the end of the season, it will be World Cup time and I will try to fulfill the wishes of the Argentine people and my teammates."

Messi: "My brothers were bigger and they had things in Argentina; they wanted to go back. They left and then my sister with her mother. I was left alone with my dad in Barcelona when I was younger."

One of the main reasons Barcelona has another goalscorer (Suárez) with 21 goals is because Messi is good at associative play. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is the reason why Bale, Benzema, and co. have struggled to score 15+ goals in the past few seasons. The team plays for Ronaldo.

Gomes feels like a new player at Barça.

Ever since his interview about how he felt, Barça fans have been showing him much more affection. Today, during training, Messi and Suárez even trained alongside him. [sport]
Andriy Shevchenko (ex-AC Milan): "If Messi plays like that, as he did on Wednesday, Barça will be European champions this season. This Messi is unstoppable. We already saw it against Chelsea. He is at a very high level." [md]

Xavi: "Messi does not get rid of the ball in silly ways. No, he attracts the defenders and then, pam, he passes to his free team-mate. And I think: ‘Holy sh*t, he dribbled four and created spaces for his teammates. He is very strong.'"
Xavi: "Dembélé will have to learn to think faster, in a few thousandths of a second. This is where we will see if he has the mentality. He must say to himself: ‘I am a Barça player.’ You have to be mentally strong, to have convictions."

Xavi: "Without the ball, I'm afraid of not enjoying the game. You have to play with Iniesta to know what pleasure means. You have to have exchanged passes with Messi to understand it."

Xavi: "I am not a football genius. I am just a student of Cruyff’s school, and Cruyff summarized this sport in a sentence: ‘Football should be played with the mind.'

Xavi: "In football, there are two types of coaches: those who are afraid of having the ball because they do not know what to do with it. And those who are afraid of not having it because they do not know how to live without it.

Valverde: “Roma an easy opponent? No, not for me. We have to take it as it comes. We haven’t won anything yet but we have opportunities to do so.”

Ziganda(bilbao coach) : "Valverde has made Barça very strong in defense. They play as a team and its very difficult to make them concede a goal, as we have seen in La Liga and the Champions League."

José Ángel Ziganda (Athletic Bilbao Coach): "Listen, it's very simple. If Messi decides to run on the field, you're dead."

Klopp (Liverpool): "Neither Mo [Salah] or anyone else wants to be compared with Lionel Messi. Messi does what he wants; he's been doing that for almost 20 years."

There are 3 possible ways to replace Suarez against Bilbao:

4-3-3: Dembele at the right, Coutinho at the left, and Messi striker.

4-3-3: Vidal in the right, Dembele in the left, and Messi striker.

4-4-2: Dembele & Coutinho on the sides, Paco in the attack and Messi behind him.

Majority of footballers, coaches, and pundits do not have the same opinion. They have vastly different opinions on any GOAT contender.

Stop making untrue statements.

There is no GOAT list without Ronaldo in it.

That is a FACT. And people can make 3 man lists without Messi. CR7, Cruyff, and R9 can slot into the 3 man list easily.

In fact, it is immensely disrespectful to limit the GOAT list to 3 players.

Do closer? Please how many senior international trophies have your GOAT won?

How typical for you guys to keep bending rules for your GOAT contender. Put Pele, Maradona, Cryuff, CR7, R9, R10, heck even Neymar in this present Argentine team and see if they wouldn't win one of the last 5 international finals Messi's been to. That's GOAT level.

Learn to respect the legends and you guys should stop making baseless statements. That's all.

I find it hard how Cr7 makes a list in which he isn't Franco greatest ever player... Cr7 wouldn't make top 7, or do you want a poll result to shut you up for good on that

Passive Aggressiveness! Nice.

Why are you triggered? Because I said CR7, Cryuff, and R9 would easily make a top 3 GOAT list. Is that a fact or not?

Look at you get all emotional because anyone dares put your hero in a position you don't approve.

First you guys say all/vast majority of pundits agree CR7 wouldn't make a top 3 GOAT list, now you're selecting which media sources I can use. Choose one people. The bottom line is that the GOAT list is made up of legends who anyone can claim to be the Greatest of All Time with facts, stats, and objective evidence to back it up. How you or anyone ranks them is up in the air.

No two pundits, ex players, or managers would agree on one ranking, but all would agree to the legends who make the list.

But I don't expect you to know that because logic is like a black hole for Barca fans.

Keep embarrassing yourself. Don't listen to your fellow cules who've said let's let this slide, so you guys can talk about team stuff. You think insults are points. The joke is on you.

Still waiting for your answer to my questions. And I quoted phaamsaam, argue with your keypad about my opinion that CR7 is better than Messi. Always changing topic since you can't make valid, factual points. I came in here to point out an inconsistency, and I've done so effectively.

Did CR7 use "hardwork and motivation" to go from the scrawny kid at Andorrinaha to the icon that won the 2008 Ballon D'Or, yes or no?

And to your myth about someone who took it "easy," here is a quote from the little Magician himself:

"I start early and I stay late, day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success."

"You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it."

As I said, you Barca fans are pretentious, insincere, and insecure. You bring shame to your club and both legends of this era.

Excerpts from The GOAT latest interview

"Before I looked to shoot more"
Messi: I try and be more of a team player now, not so selfish

Lionel Messi admitted that he now plays more for the team than in the past when he concentrated on to a greater extent on his own game and scoring goals.

The Barcelona star spoke to America TV denied though that he runs less now.
"Before I got the ball and did my own game," he said.
"Now I try to play for the team. That the ball goes via me more and I don't try and finish things off as much.
"Basically I am not as selfish. I ry to build the play from a different position.
"I continue to run the same as before but in a different way."
