Messi: This Barca team is special
Posted Sunday, June 12, 2011 by ESPN
Lionel Messi believes that the Barcelona team he is in should be remembered for their quality.
The La Liga giants won both their domestic league and the Champions League last season, and have won ten trophies since the reign of manager Pep Guardiola in 2008.
Messi himself scored 53 goals for the Catalans last season, and believes that this Barcelona side deserve to be in the annals of history as one of football's greatest teams, though he was wary in saying they were the best ever
"I cannot say this because there have been other great teams in certain eras, but we have shown this [team] deserves to be remembered," he said, according to Il Mattino newspaper.
"The season was excellent, but there are no secrets. At Barcelona there is work and trust in our own possibilities."
The 23-year-old also gave an insight towards what it would take to succeed with Argentina in their upcoming Copa America campaign.
"I have the work culture. All I know is this. I try to stay calm in the good and bad moments. Now I want to win something with Argentina," he concluded.
The Copa American will take place on 1-24 July.
