"I would have liked more to have won another Champions League or a Copa America"

Leo Messi used a discrete speech when speaking about his 6th Ballon d'Or. After the ceremony, the Argentine spoke to the media and showed his happiness at winning the prize, although he said that he would change it for other team prizes.

"I always said it, I would have liked to win a Champions League or a Copa America instead of individual awards like these, but it is still a recognition", the Barcelona player said.

During his words after receiving the award, Messi spoke about his future and when he'll retire: "I hope and God willing it will be many more years for me. I am 32 years old, on my way to 33, and as I said some time ago, everything depends on how I feel, how I am physically".

"Today, thanks to God, I feel better than ever physically, personally, and hopefully I can be for many more years," Leo Messi continued, who was also questioned about the clause in his contract that allows him to leave Barcelona at the end of the season.

In this way, Messi also wanted to calm the waters: "The people of Barcelona know me and know that there is no problem beyond what a contract says in what I feel for the club, beyond any signature or any paper".

"There's no problem with that. As I said, it's simply because while I'm at Barça I want to be well and not go through anything else," concluded the Argentine 'crack', who hastily stopped talking after the insistence on this matter.
