Lionel Messi wasted no time and set a few things right for Barcelona, as the Argentinean played his first game with Los Blaugranas since June 6. Barcelona was able to revert a three-game losing streak with the help of Messi and Neymar, scoring one goal each while Los Culés won another Joan Gamper trophy in front of a sellout crowd.
Nevertheless, Lionel Messi was involved in an argument with defender Mapou Yanga Mbiwa, who saw how "La Pulga" reacted angrily to a tackle, head-butting him and grabbing his neck in a more than menacing kind of way. Messi got away only with a yellow card for the action.

Later on, Messi did what he does best, scoring his first goal for Los Blaugranas just days after coming back from a much deserved vacation. His reaction was not welcomed by football fans all over the world. Have a look at what they had to say below. Really?
People need to shut up about Messi. He can do what the hell he likes. He's a god.
