Happy Messi

12:14: Lionel Messi says he is happy both on and off the pitch after turning 30 in June.

"To tell you the truth, I never thought about how I'd be feeling when I got here [30]," he said.

"But I'm very happy with both my personal life and football. I'd say I'm in good shape on and off the pitch. I'm very pleased with where I am right now."

Iniesta on Neymar

09:45: Andres Iniesta admits he would be annoyed if Neymar left Paris Saint-Germain for Real Madrid in the future.

“Anything can happen in football and I would not rule it out,” Iniesta said. 

“We’ve seen numerous times how there are situations which seem unlikely or impossible but they end up happening.

“If Neymar was to join Madrid? It would annoy me in the sense that he wins matches and would strengthen a direct rival, but I’m not worried.”
