Fans will have to get used to this new look by the South American ace.

It had to happen someday, but Lionel Messi shocked fans - and most of his teammates- when he showed up to Barcelona's training session this morning.

After two long years sporting a beard, the Argentine footballer decided to use the razor blade one more time. The Blaugrana ace decided to grow his beard as a good luck charm for Argentina to end their title drought, but two major tournaments went by and La Albiceleste's luck didn't change, meaning that the beard had to go.

This change wasn't all that bad, since the footballer looks younger without facial hair.
