Barcelona's Lionel Messi belives that his personal achievements are "meaningless" if the team does not win.

Lionel Messi has said that his record-breaking exploits will mean nothing if Barcelona don't win any trophies this season.

The Argentina forward recently broke Gerd Muller's record of 85 goals in a calendar year, one which had stood for 40 years.

However, Messi believes that his personal achievements are pointless if his club finish their campaign without any silverware.

"I'm happy about the goals I've scored and the records I've broken, but this year could have been better in terms of silverware," Messi told Mundo Deportivo.

"I've always said that if the team isn't winning things my goals are meaningless."

Barca currently top La Liga but were beaten to the title by Real Madrid last season.
