Lionel Messi is as hungry as ever to continue tasting success with Barcelona and Argentina as he aims to triumph in the Copa America, and enjoy continued glory at Camp Nou.

The Argentine international scored 53 goals in all competitions for his club last term, a haul which helped them win La Liga's Primera Division title as well as the Champions League, and Messi is in no mood to rest on his laurels, as he highlighted his plans for both club and country.

"I want Barcelona to follow the same path of success [next season]. We are a team. Here no one wins by himself. Here we all win together," he said in an interview with Sport.

"We want to carry on following the path we have taken in recent years and we have to keep to it in order to continue giving joy to the fans."

When asked what is Barca's secret of winning, Messi replied: "The desire of the team, the coach pushes you to win and improve day by day.

"We are a team that only thinks about winning, we do not relax with what we have."

Regarding Argentina's aim to win the Copa America on home soil this summer, the diminutive forward made it clear his side will be fighting hard to collect the trophy.

"I hope that Argentina can have the joy of returning to win the Copa America. We have a great group."

He added: "We have an idea on how we will go out to play and our desire is to win the Copa."
