BALTIMORE, MD (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – After three weeks break, Argentina Striker Lionel Messi returned with a goal, to seal a winning for the La Liga champions, Barcelona comfortably against Deportivo La Coruna.

Messi who just recovered from a groin complication, scored fourth seconds after coming off the bench during the match played at the Nou Camp.

The victory moved Barcelona up to second in the table one point behind leaders Sevilla.

However, beyond the latest winning, Messi’s further mastery display will be more pleasing to coach Luis Enrique before the club’s visit to Manchester City in the Champions League next week.

That game will mark the full return of former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, whose side – City were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.
