Lionel Messi says he's a very different player at PSG compared to the height of his powers with Barcelona.

At 34, Messi has been reflecting on his career.

He told ESPN: "Although the goals were not met, I had many good times. The Copa America 2015, the Copa America 2016 too. The 2014 World Cup process was very good. Today, I grew a lot more as a player, I tried to assimilate other things in my game.

"Today, I play a little more in the background, I try not to be satisfied to play in the last third of the field.

"I try to be more a passer, to manage the rhythm of the game. From now on, I no longer have the same capacity of acceleration, but I continue to create danger."
