Barcelona star Lionel Messi says he is happy away from the pitch.

It's been an eventful 12 months for Messi, but he says he now feels settled.

Messi told the club's website: "Yes, I feel happy. The truth is that I started the season in a different way after what happened to me last season.

"I had a tough year due to events off the field, injury and my form. But this season I started differently and now I feel good."
