The number 10 talks about his present and future at Barça in an interview with Mundo Deportivo


eo Messi gave an interview to newspaper Mundo Deportivo this week, in which he spoke about his current situation at the club, the team’s objectives for the season and more. Below are some of the notable quotes from the interview:

The Barça style
“My idea is to stay at Barça, and as long as the club and the fans want that, there is no problem on my behalf.”

“I want to win another Champions League with Barça, and I also want to continue winning LaLiga titles here. My idea is to stay at the club and try to aspire to every honour again.”

“At no time has leaving Barça crossed my mind, and it hasn’t now either.”

“The years go by and you never know, but I feel very good. I feel better overall than in previous seasons.”

“The club don’t do whatever I want. I don’t make the decisions at Barça.”

The Champions League
“I have a lot of desire to enjoy another Champions League win. If it’s this year in Istanbul, then even better.”


“If we want to fight to win the Champions League this season, we have to keep believing. Right now we still have a lot of things to improve. Right now, we couldn’t win it.”

“The formula for challenging for the Champions League is to be more consistent in games, be more reliable and not make mistakes like we did against Roma and Liverpool.”

“Last season we were very close to winning the Champions League and we let it get away. It was a very good chance for us to win it.”


“We were aware of what might happen to us at Anfield and it happened again. We didn’t compete and they were the better side in every way.”

“Liverpool, Juventus, París Saint Germain and Real Madrid are the strongest opponents in the Champions League right now.”

“The sanction for Manchester City is surprising, because nobody thought that something like that could happen; something so strong. It will be strange if in the end they can’t play in Europe for the next two seasons.”
