Barcelona Argentine star chats with 'El Gráfico'

The Barça man is close to breaking Gabriel Batistuta's Argentina goalscoring record, but he does not care: "Records don't make you win titles", he told Argentinian magazine 'El Gráfico'.

On the MSN's relationship: "We have a really good relationship on and off the pitch. We get on really well. We try to work as a team and it's good that we all feel important. Maybe we're closer because we're all South American, although we're professionals. Things change when we play for our countries, but there's no rivalry or conflict".

On his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo: "We're professionals, who defend our clubs' colours, and footballing rivals, but that's it. There has never been anything but respect".

On one day returning to play in Argentina: "It's something that I would still like to do. I don't know when, but it's a possibility".

On retiring: "I haven't set myself any goals, short or long term, but I'd like to keep playing whilst my body allows it and I have something to offer the team. When I know that it's time, I'll make a decision".

On Argentina's failures: "I get upset whenever we lose with Argentina because I know that we should have won. We did enough to win the World Cup and the Copa América".

On being criticised back home: "I don't care. I'm not bothered by what certain sectors of the media have to say. I'm concerned when a game isn't analysed for its football and is crucified over one particular moment. The media influence opinion and sometimes the fan inside gets the better of the journalist".
