Barcelona might have set Spain and Europe alight this season, but for all their plaudits, they are yet to win any silverware.

With the Catalans still alive in all three competitions though, Lionel Messi told Sport today how badly they want to pick up trophies this year.

"We all form part of a group that has many important desires to achieve things for the club and for the fans. We have many desires to win titles at the end of this season and I believe that if we continue as we are now, the success will arrive," he mused.

"We are adapting very well to the style of play and I believe that we can continue with our system of rotation to maintain this level until the end of the season."

Messi has been one of the star players for Barcelona this season, scoring plenty of goals himself and setting up his team-mates for others.

On a personal level, though, he doesn't believe that this year feels any different from the last.

"The truth is that I feel equally as important as always. Last year I was away from the pitch for a lot of time and I value being able to play," he declared.

Along with Messi, Dani Alves has been one of the best performers for Barcelona, and the Argentine praised his Brazilian club-mate today.

"Dani is an impressive player and it is fantastic to play with him with the qualities that he has and the options he gives on the pitch," he concluded.
