After quite a disappointing summer, Lionel Messi seems to be ready to battle for another La Liga title.
The Argentine ace returned to the team's training sessions today, showing his new look while loosening up.
Messi was supposed to return to the team's training complex until August, but he decided to cut short his vacation to get in shape as soon as possible.

The player took the pitch by storm and showed his skills haven't diminished by nutmegging backup goalie Jordi Masip.
