Yesterday he Messi was in no doubt that at some point in the future he would play in his home country. In Europe I want to play at Barcelona.
I would stay here forever because I feel very comfortable and loved. But before I retire, I want to play in my country, I am absolutely certain that I want to play in Argentina.

It's a dream and I'm going to make it come true."
