We shared two years together, we had a great relationship, we fought for the same goals and we continue to maintain a normal relationship. That's why "We greet each other and talk. It's normal," said Lionel Messi.

"Coach, today, I don't think it is or is something that calls me. As I say, football takes many turns and anything can happen. Obviously, I could return to Barcelona and I could live there. It is the club that saw me grow up. , who gave me everything and I gave him everything. It's the club that I love. And to try to give everything for the club. I always did. It's not something to think about today. I don't know if I have a lot or a little left to play, "but I want to enjoy it. I don't want to go further. It could easily happen," added Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi spoke about his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo

Lionel Messi: “It was an epic competition between brackets. Athletically, he was very good and I think we benefited from each other because we are both very competitive and he also always wants to win over everyone and everything. I think it was a very beautiful period for us and for those who love football in general. What we have done all this time is very appreciable because as they say it is easy to reach the top but difficult to stay. We stayed at the top for ten or fifteen years, I'm not sure how many, and it was very difficult. It was very difficult to continue at this level and I think it was a great thing and a beautiful memory for everyone who enjoys football”.
