Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué has revealed the secret of Lionel Messi’s success, saying that the Argentine superstar is “obsessed” with winning.
Piqué, who has played alongside Messi for over a decade at Barcelona, said that the 34-year-old is always looking to improve and is never satisfied with his performances.
“He’s obsessed with winning,” Piqué said in an interview with The Guardian. “He’s always looking for ways to improve, and he’s never satisfied with his performances. That’s what makes him so special.”

Piqué also praised Messi’s work ethic, saying that he is the first player to arrive at training and the last to leave.
“He’s a machine,” Piqué said. “He’s the first one to arrive at training and the last one to leave. He’s always working hard to improve.”
Messi has won everything there is to win in the game, including the Ballon d’Or a record seven times. He is widely considered to be the greatest player of all time.
Piqué said that Messi’s success is down to his natural talent, but also to his dedication and hard work.
“He’s a natural talent,” Piqué said. “But he’s also worked incredibly hard to get to where he is. He’s a role model for everyone.”
Messi is set to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, and Piqué said that he will be missed by everyone at the club.
“He’s been a part of this club for so long,” Piqué said. “He’s a legend, and he’ll be missed by everyone.”
Piqué’s comments come as Messi is in the midst of a contract standoff with Barcelona. The Argentine superstar is reportedly seeking a new deal that would make him the highest-paid player in the world.
It remains to be seen whether Barcelona will be able to meet Messi’s demands. However, one thing is for sure: Piqué believes that Messi will continue to be successful, no matter where he plays. Soccer More News
“He’s a winner,” Piqué said. “He’ll find a way to win, wherever he goes.”
