Lionel Messi goal: Messi training return

The 'Lionel Messi training absence' news sent shockwaves for Barcelona fans, who began to wonder whether their club talisman suffered a serious injury just a week before the resumption of LaLiga. Lionel Messi was absent from the Barcelona training for two days after complaining of pain in his right adductor. However, the Barcelona enthusiasts were treated to another sublime Lionel Messi goal in training on Thursday after the star returned to training earlier this week.

The sumptuous Lionel Messi goal was too good for the helpless goalkeeper, who tried to scramble back in order to make a save but to no avail. At the end of the video, the keeper is seen picking up the ball from the back of the net despite keeping his eyes on it the whole time.

The ball travelled high up in the air before nestling into the top corner of the net with the goalkeeper only managing to grasp at thin air in an attempt to make a save.
