Lionel Messi's goal is clear - triumph at the World Cup in Russia, and for the victory with the national team, he would be willing to sacrifice trophies won with Barcelona.
The 30-year-old L. Messi has won 32 different titles with Barcelona, but he has not been able to win victories with the national team so far. The closest to the goal of the World Cup, he was four years ago when in the World Cup he and his team mates lost in the final against Germany.
"Winning the World Cup is a big personal goal for me, but at the same time it is a goal for the entire team and our country, who all share the same dream. Representing your country at the World Cup is a huge responsibility.
"I would exchange a title won with Barcelona for a trophy with the national team. Although I want to win with my club, I also want to achieve something with my country's national team. I know how special it would be - being a world champion with the Argentine national team would change everything and be a new unique experience," - said the Argentine.
At the World Cup, L. Messi and the Argentine national team will compete in Group D along with the national teams of Croatia, Iceland, and Nigeria.
