Lionel Messi has dismissed renewed claims that he would rather win trophies with Barcelona than Argentina, announcing that he would give up all his club medals to win the World Cup with los Albicelestes.
"Nothing compares with a World Cup title," he explained to Argentine television network TyC Sports.
"There are people who say that I don't care about the Argentine shirt, but it's not like that. If I didn't care about the shirt, I wouldn't play and I wouldn't make so many journeys.
"I love it and I want the best, and like any Argentine I want the World Cup. I feel good because I play for my country.
"I would give everything to win the World Cup, it would be the biggest thing for me and for Argentina. I've had the luck to achieve a lot of important things at club level, but I would change all of that for the World Cup."
While Diego Maradona's side did not have the easiest road to qualification, Messi is confident that they will prove their doubters wrong and reach the latter stages of the finals in South Africa.
"We went through some hard times, we suffered. But now that burden has left us. We will be fighting [for the title], I'm absolutely certain. I hope to do what I've done and what I'm doing with Barcelona in order to give my best for the national team," he concluded.
