Messi: Barca hungry for more silverware in 2016

Barcelona have their sights set on making the next year as trophy-laden year as 2015 was, says Lionel Messi.

The Catalan giants finished 2015 top of La Liga thanks to a 4-0 win over Real Betis on Wednesday, a game that saw Luis Enrique's side parade the five trophies they won in 2015 before kick off.

Emulating that accomplishment will not be easy for Barca, but Messi – making his 500th appearance for the club – says the squad are all focused on bringing more success to the club in the remainder of the 2015-16 campaign.

"It is difficult to improve what we did, but we'll try," said the Argentine, who netted Barca's second goal of the evening after Heiko Westermann turned into his own net, with Luis Suarez scoring a brace after half-time.

"We have a squad who still want to keep winning.

"It was a great year and we wanted to finish it the same way. It was a strange game [against Betis], with many things, but we got the three points."
