Lionel Messi is always aware of what is going on at Barcelona and despite living in the United States, he has the opportunity to watch the team’s matches. The Argentine is delighted with how the team is playing in these first few months of competition under Xavi Hernandez and with the response of the youngsters from La Masia.
It’s spectacular how the boys are responding to the confidence he is giving them.

“It’s a great pride to see how the first team is represented right now. This Barca is spectacular and it doesn’t surprise me. It’s nothing new, it’s been like this all my life; since I arrived at Barca at the age of 13. It’s spectacular that the boys have the opportunity in the last two years and that, when they are given confidence, they respond in this way becausethey know the club better than anyone else and they are used to playing like this since they were young. If they are accompanied, these things happen, as happened in our time,” said the Argentine in an interview with TV3.
“In our minds, tomorrow is to live in Barcelona again. My children, my wife and I miss Barcelona very much. We have friends and we left many things there. My children are Catalan. I lived all my life in Barcelona, and I feel from there and I miss it very much. You never know where life will take you, but our intention is to return because it is our home,” said Leo.
It is an honor that the best player in history says these things”

During Hansi Flick‘s press conference on Saturday, he was asked about the Argentine player’s words. The German coach was grateful for these statements. “It’s an honour to hear the best player in history say this. He follows the team closely. We see that he always has his heart set on this club and it means a lot to us,” said Flick.
