'IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO STORE SO MANY TROPHIES'
Stating that most of the trophies he has won throughout his career are in Barcelona, Messi said, 'All my trophies are in Barcelona. I also have a special place for what I won with the Argentina National Team, but most of them are in Barcelona. It is really difficult to store so many trophies.'
Stating that he has no other expectations from football after winning the World Cup, Messi used the expressions, 'I couldn't win the World Cup, but I did. I won them all. I can no longer ask for anything from football.'
Saying that he will make his decision on whether to participate in the 2026 World Cup this year, Messi said, 'I will make my decision regarding the 2026 World Cup this year. This year will be important.'
PRAISE FOR LAMINE YAMAL
Messi also had words of praise for young talent Lamine Yamal. Stating that Yamal has great potential, Messi said, 'What Lamine Yamal has shown is impressive. He previously experienced a championship with Spain in the European Championship.
He is only 17 years old, in the process of growing, and he will continue to add things to his game just as I did. He has incredible qualities and is already one of the best players in the world.'
'FROM ANOTHER WORLD'
Speaking about his former coach Pep Guardiola, Messi said, 'Pep Guardiola is from another world. He is different; he sees things that no one else sees. He changed football. In fact, he kind of harmed football because people tried to play the way we played at Barcelona.'
Finally, stating that he dreamed of wearing the Barcelona jersey again at one point in his career, Messi said, 'I was thinking about returning to Barcelona, the place where I always wanted to be, but it was not possible.'
