“I always fantasised about being a rock star more than a pop star, but rock ‘n’ roll is a little harder on yourself, more rigid. Mick Jagger will never be able to put away his tight trousers. Pop always gives you the opportunity to metamorphose. But there is some kind of dignity in the world of rock ‘n’ roll that you can’t find in pop music. So I like to walk right in the middle and jump back and forth.”

On his CL winning goal in 2011: In that moment, I imagined the goal–I could see it coming. I went for it and thank God that it happened. It was such an important goal–for me, for the team, for the way the final was turning in our favour. It was one of my favourite goals.

We are team! One person struggles, we all struggle, one person triumphs, we all triumph. This is more than a club, this is one big family.

“But first, I want you to take note of something if you haven’t already. When his mouth was split open, when he was lying there dazed and bleeding, when he had to play with tissue stuffed around his mouth and nose to ensure that he wasn’t bleeding so much that he had to leave the pitch, what kind of fuss did Messi make?

Did he lose his temper at the ref? The linesman? Did he go looking to stick his studs in Marcelo? No to all those questions.

I’ve told it before but for those who don’t know, my first interview with Messi was in late summer 2006. He’d just changed to Adidas as his kit sponsor, and they were delighted to have this promising kid.

I asked him about the fouls he was already taking. As a fiery Scot, I wasn’t asking him about his glacier-like sense of calm. (To date, he’s only ever been sent off once, and it was a total miscarriage of justice even then.) I was asking him, I admit, why he didn’t go seeking personal justice with boot or fist? I really thought it was inevitable that he’d one day lose the plot completely and get some “equalising” done.

Messi told me that if he was kicked in the first couple of minutes of a match, it could hurt like hell; he’s actually human in that respect. But thereafter he said, ‘I’m so involved in the game, I hardly feel anything, and all I want to do is get the ball back and punish them that way.’“
