He added: "We are a competitive team that loves to win, but we realize that it is a team sport, and that the opponent always competes, and that victory is not guaranteed, since I was young, I learned that losing is more likely than winning, and this helped me mature as a person and as a player."
Regarding Lamine Yamal and the famous photo with him, Messi explained: "Lamine is a wonderful player and I follow him closely because he plays for a club I love, and I always wish him all the best, he is one of the best players in the world and he is only nineteen years old, he has a long career ahead of him and he has the opportunity to achieve a historic achievement, and we will do our best to prevent him from doing so this time."
He concluded: "That photo is amazing, I took a picture of him when he was a baby, and now we meet in the final, it is unbelievable, he is one of the best players in the world, and I wish him all the best, because his interest is Barcelona's interest, we will try to present a good match so that he does not give his best performance, despite the difficulty of the matter, Spain has wonderful players and a distinctive style of play, but we have our own strengths."
