FC Barcelona: Lionel Messi Wants to Have a Family in the Future

Lionel Messi has expressed a desire (in an interview with the Argentine Magazine Caras) to be a father and have a family. The interview was published in the online magazine Goal.

Messi stressed the importance of family during his interview. He admits that he would have had a tough time coping with the pressures of world football without a family.

Messi continued to talk about how his family supported him through the good as well as the not-so-good times. Messi admits that he loves the tranquil life and being far from the spotlight.

Messi made his declarations in light that he is one of the 55 people on the list for the FIFA Pro World 11 awards to be given on January 2012. Messi has also received numerous awards such as the FIFA Ballon D' Or.

Messi assisted Barca in winning the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League, defeating Manchester United. Messi has also assisted Barca in winning other events such as the UEFA Super Cup.

Messi has been compared with Cristiano Ronaldo in personality and playing style. Messi in the past has downplayed such comparisons.

It is my personal desire to wish Messi the best in his personal as well as professional endeavors.
