🚨 Lionel Messi on whether he cares about reaching 1,000 career goals like Cristiano Ronaldo: 🎙️ Interviewer: “Lionel, you’re now on 937 career goals. Does reaching the 1,000-goal milestone motivate you, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo chasing that same target? Lionel Messi: “Honestly, no. I respect Cristiano and everything he has achieved, but I don’t wake up thinking about his numbers or trying to beat them. Football has never been about that for me. I play because I love the game.” Interviewer: “So you wouldn’t be disappointed if you retired without reaching 1,000? Lionel Messi: “Not at all. I’ve won the biggest trophies in football. I’ve experienced things I dreamed about as a child. Of course, I want to score whenever I play, but I’m not going to lose sleep over a number. If it happens, wonderful. If it doesn’t, my happiness won’t change.” Interviewer: “Some fans believe the 1,000-goal race is one of the biggest debates left between you and Ronaldo. Lionel Messi: “That’s for the fans to discuss. They can compare goals, assists, trophies and records every day if they want. I don’t need to compete with anyone anymore. My story is already written, and I’m grateful for every chapter.” Interviewer: “What matters most to you at this stage of your career? Lionel Messi: “Going out there, enjoying football, helping my teammates and making people happy. I’m still playing because I love it. I don’t want to turn the final years of my career into a mathematics competition.”
