Lionel Messi Quotes

In my 12 years as a personal trainer and avid gym goer, I have found the quotes of elite level athletes to be very motivational for pushing towards my own goals.

Whether your goal is weight loss, running a marathon, building muscle, or simply living a long and healthy life, I think you’ll find these quotes useful and in some way applicable to your own life.

So without further ado, here are the best Lionel Messi quotes on hard work, being successful, winning mentality, and more.

“You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it. The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.”

“You cannot allow your desire to be a winner to be diminished by achieving success before and I believe there is room for improvement in every sportsman.”

“Whether it’s a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game – I play the same. I’m always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.”

“I never think about the play or visualize anything. I do what comes to me at that moment. Instinct. It has always been that way.”

“I always thought I wanted to play professionally, and I always knew that to do that I’d have to make a lot of sacrifices.”

“I have many years to get better and better, and that has to be my ambition.”

“For my part, I try to do my bit to make people’s lives more bearable, in particular children across the globe who are having problems.”

“I want to concentrate on winning things with Barcelona and Argentina. Then if people want to say nice things about me when I have retired, great. Right now, I need to concentrate on being part of a team – not just on me.”

“The truth is that I don’t have a favourite goal.”

“I’ve always really just liked football, and I’ve always devoted a lot of time to it.”

“There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.”

“What I do is play soccer, which is what I like.”

“I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else.”

“When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.”

“You have to show up in the World Cup, and in the World Cup anything can happen.”

“Today I am the happiest man in the world, my son was born and thanks to God for this gift.”

“I have fun like a child in the street. When the day comes when I’m not enjoying it, I will leave football.”

“Every year I try to grow as a player and not get stuck in a rut.”

“I am competitive and I feel bad when we lose.”

“Being named among the best at something is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.”

“It seems like people want to blame me for everything.”

“It’s not so easy for us when we play teams who have a different mindset.”

“I repeat what I always say: I want the best for Argentina in every way.”

“I’ve never stopped being Argentine, and I’ve never wanted to.”

“Sometimes you have to accept you can’t win all the time.”

“I’m lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good.”

“There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a happy and smiling child.”

“Money is not a motivating factor. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn’t paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.”
