Messi with Argentina: His Performance and the Impact of MLS

All the records he's breaking now. Seeing him again with the national team, shining and scoring…

It's crazy, right? How old is Leo? Do you doubt him or not, Leo?

He turns 39 in a few days, if I'm not mistaken.

I think his birthday is the day after tomorrow, but doubt him? Never.

Right now, I remember watching the first game and seeing him in better physical shape than when he was in Qatar.

Not because he was in bad shape, but it's the same version or even better.

How he runs, how he fights. Do you think MLS helps with that?

What is the game like in MLS? People sometimes underestimate that, don't they?

Because they don't know MLS, how much running there is, what the matches are like, the physical demands it has.

Do you think it benefited him in that sense?

Yes, 100%. I think that, in the end, you still end up setting your own bar.

On any given day, you decide how competitive you want to be.

If I'm in Spain and I decide not to be competitive and just walk, I'm going to do it.

But if I create that winning mentality, like Jordi, Lucho, Busi, and Leo have, from every training session, that was one thing I realized.

That's why they are who they are and achieved what they achieved.
