The Barcelona superstar has been in typically incredible form this season, scoring 34 goals in all competitions for Ernesto Valverde's LaLiga leaders.
Three of those came over the course of a 4-1 aggregate victory against Chelsea in the last-16 of the Champions League that concluded with a 3-0 win at Camp Nou this week, where Messi also supplied a wonderful assist for Ousmane Dembele.
In an interview with 'America TV's 'La Cornisa' programme, the 30-year-old explained he has given greater attention to the latter side of his game over recent years.
"Before, I tried to steal the ball and make my play," he said. "Now, I try to make the team play more, pass the ball more and not be so defining or selfish.
"I try to move the team from another position. I run the same as I always did, but in a different way."
Barca host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, protecting an eight-point advantage over Atletico Madrid at LaLiga's summit, and have been drawn against Roma in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
