Barcelona star Lionel Messi admits he's noticing his age. Messi concedes he's now having to work harder to overcome physical knocks.
"I'm 27 now and it's not the same as when I was younger. You continue to grow and age. Before, I could do almost anything and my body wouldn't notice but now I try to make sure I get some rest and take care about what I eat.
"We want to win every competition we're involved in. Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't but this year, we are going for the lot; we want to win trophies and enjoy ourselves. On a personal level I just want to continue doing what I've been doing and helping the team in every way I can so that Barça continues to improve."
