Lionel Messi – A Goal from the heart

Lionel Messi superb goal against Estudiantes secured the victory for Barcelona. Just minute after the goal, Lionel Messi was interviewed by FIFA. Heres what Leo has to say about the game,

Lionel, how do you feel right now?
I’m extremely happy. We’ve just ended a historic year, a perfect year in which we’ve won every competition we’ve played in. We just needed to take this last step and everything has worked out how we wanted. It’s amazing. It’s difficult to put into words.

What does it mean to have won the FIFA Club World Cup at last?
It’s very important to us. It was unfinished business for Barcelona and we put it right today. The fact we had to work hard to win it too makes it even more special.

And how do you feel about winning the adidas Golden Ball?
It’s nice to get that recognition of course, but it’s something I want to share with my team-mates. I couldn’t have won an award like this without them.

What was the key to you turning the game around?
Having faith in ourselves. We knew we had to keep playing our own game, keep playing the way we always do, without changing, even though time was running out for us. It’s worked out for us quite a few times for us this year and fortunately it worked out again.

What kind of a game was it to play in?
Very tough. I couldn’t get into the game or find my place. We all had that problem, though, and that’s because we were playing a great side who were extremely well organised, who knew what they were doing, and who almost stuck it out to the final whistle. Unfortunately for them though, we got the goal right at the end.

Do you think Barcelona were worthy winners?
Well, our goal came late on but I think we played a lot of good football and had chances to score earlier. I know we were only two minutes away from losing but I think the result was the right one.

How does it feel to score yet another decisive goal?
If Pedro hadn’t scored, then I wouldn’t have had the chance to score mine. I’m delighted at getting the winner but I’m even happier at winning the cup with this group of players.

Can you just talk us through the goal?
I know Dani and I knew where he was going to put the cross as he saw me get in there, just as he usually does. The ball came in and I didn’t know whether to head or chest it in. I think it might even have come off the badge.

Finally, is this Barcelona side the greatest team of all time?
If you’re talking about all the trophies, then there’s no other side that has achieved what we have this year. It’s not easy to answer that right now though. We are happy at having made history but make no mistake, we’ll be out to win everything again next year.

Messi receives Club World Cup Golden Ball Award

Leo Messi have added yet another award after receiving the Golden Ball award for this two superb goal and being the match winner in Club World Cup.

A man who was in doubt for Club World Cup manage to win the Golder Ball Award is simply amazing. Scoring two important goal in both matches, but I also believed that Pedro should have atleast given some award as he also scored two goal and the second goal was the most important goal.

Veron received the Silver Ball and Xavi received the Bronze Ball. Barcelona finished the year with six cups and what an amazing year for Pep Guardiola who was unable to stop his tears for creating a history for Barcelona and everyone will remember him as he have done this in his first year as Manager.

Messi doubtful for Club World Cup First match

Messi wasnt a part of Barcelona training session held this afternoon at military facility at Abu Dabi and continue his personal recovery programme in the hotel. Barcelona will be playing their first match on Wednesday night and Messi might not be a part of the team against Atlanta FC.

Barcelona are the strongest team and likely to win the cup and as Barcelona have never won this cup, it would be a records that this beautiful team can set up. After winning treble last year, Barcelona manage to win two another important cup and adding this cup would certainly add another boost to this team. They would win the sixth trophy of the year.

Lionel Messi would be willing to be a part of the team as he wasnt part of the team when they last came to play for this cup.
