In an extract from a new book titled The Artist: Being Iniesta, Messi heaps praise on his Catalan club teammate Andres Iniesta, explaining how the Spaniard has remained the same type of person and player from a young age.
Messi believes making football look easy, something he believes Iniesta does every time he plays the beautiful game, is one of the most difficult things to do.
"I heard people talking about Andres virtually from the moment I arrived at Barcelona. I didn't meet him at La Masia," the Argentine said.
"I would go there to eat but we rarely crossed paths because I was preparing for my Bachillerato exams at the time. There are three years between us.
"Then I saw him in training sessions more than games. But he has always been the same, as a person and a player.
"I always picture him with the ball at his feet. That's the way I have got used to seeing him. He does everything well, with simplicity.
"At times, it may look like he's not doing anything, but in fact he's doing it all. Everything is different with Andres.
"The hardest thing to do in football is to make it look like everything is easy, effortless, and that's Andres."
