I just want to be better every day, to get better every day, not to be better than anyone else.

In the Premier League, you never know who is going to win or who will be champions. It is always a surprise.
I never run away from the responsibility. I'm used to it.
I don't want to surpass anyone. I don't want to be better than anyone else.
I want to trace my own path by doing the things I have been doing, winning titles, reaching goals.
Unfortunately, I never saw Pele play. What I know of him is through my grandfather, my dad's dad, who used to talk to me and tell me about how he played.
I always dribble for a reason, and I always head for the goal.
My father always told me I like the ball more than I like playing soccer: since I was a young kid, I was always skilled with it, dribbling furniture around the house. That's how I see football - fun and dynamic - and this goes beyond me; it's a characteristic of Brazilian football.
I don't mind being the one people talk about. It doesn't weigh on me.
You always knows what's best for you.
There weren't many options growing up, so I would wear whatever possible. I once saw a little boy wearing Jordan sneakers in a movie... and that made me dream.
My opinion is that protesting, there's no problem with it, as long as it is peaceful without violence, without vandalism.
It is difficult to take in that your idols are in the same place as you are.
I only want to be the best that I can be.
I'm Messi Football Club.
I was quite nervous in my first week at Barcelona, but after that, I was relaxed.
I've always said I learned to defend myself from an opponent coming for a hard hit. Tricks are part of my repertoire; I use them to try to get past my opponents, but the objective is always to score goals.
Our objective is always to win. Every day, every game, and every competition.
Messi deserves to win this World Cup for all he has done for football.
I'm a happy guy. I like to joke around. I'm irreverent. I love my family; I love my son. I was very happy with and proud of the birth of my son. I grew up a lot after he was born. I'm just an easy and happy guy.
I admire Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool - these are the teams that are always there fighting.
I try to be a good role model for my son, my family, my friends, and then I try to be a good role model for the rest of the people, too.
Not only the attackers, but the defenders - it's on the attackers to prepare themselves to break through the strong defense.
I believe the Champions League has all that magic because it gathers all the best European teams, and that gives you the feeling of trying to be the best. That's why the Champions League has this special kind of emotion.
I'm very happy that major players are always giving their opinions about my life, my game. I am very thankful for that.
I am not the type of person who lets the pressure get to him. I try to see it as my friend. I align with it to calm me down.
My dad just wants me to dedicate myself to playing and to focus on the ball.
I respect his decisions, but football without Messi is not football. It is very hard to imagine football without him.
Winning titles plays a big role in the Ballon d'Or race.
The Premier League is a championship that amazes me. I like the playing style and the teams.
I know that it is a huge responsibility to be the captain, the No. 10, but I like it. I like the responsibility, the pressure, and I like playing football.
Above all, I want to be happy, and at Barcelona, I'm happy.
I play to be happy in the first place and then to help my colleagues and my team the best way I can, with the best football.
When I arrived at Barcelona and saw Messi's face, and later Luis Suarez, I felt like it was a videogame.
I prefer beating Real Madrid to beating Manchester City!
The Libertadores is sensational, but the Champions League... The first time I heard the anthem was a really special feeling. It's like being in a video game; it's living the dream of every child.
That is one of the things I dream about for myself: to receive the 'golden ball' someday.
I just like winning every tournament that I play. All of them are important for me. Each has its own history, its own characteristic, but they are all important.
Winning the Ballon d'Or is the consequence of your work.
I will be a World Cup winner.
I believe Philippe Coutinho is a player who would totally fit in Barcelona.
Of course Messi could handle a cold Tuesday night in Stoke. He'd be drinking tea and relaxing beforehand. Me? I'd probably be the same.
I don't want to surpass Messi.
My first pair of Jordans, I wore them all the time. I would wear them to school; I always had them on.
I think every player should be allowed to stay or leave a club.
Cristiano Ronaldo has created his own story, and now I'm creating mine.
Right now I'm living my boyhood dream, which was to play for a European club. The fact that it's a huge club like Barcelona makes it a tremendous honour. I like everything about the city: the climate, the people. It's quite similar to Brazil, which helps a lot. There's even a beach!
I don't compare tournaments.
Messi is a great player. Playing against him is not good - it is bad.
I've always had the greatest respect for and listened to both my father and my mother. I've always tried to follow my parents' advice because these are people who want the best for me.
