Barcelona star Lionel Messi has scored twice on his comeback in his side's Spanish Cup clash against country rivals Getafe, whom they beat 4-0 at Camp Nou on Wednesday.
After two months out injured, Messi came off the bench in the second half of the Copa Del Rey game to make his Barcelona return and immediately reminded everyone of his astonishing quality by slotting home his first on 89 minutes after being set up by Cesc Febregas.
According to Metro.co.uk, the Argentine then went one better in injury time, embarking on a trademark run from the right before clipping a shot past Getafe goalkeeper Jordi Codina.
Meanwhile, the transfer value of Messi has reportedly been estimated to be a whopping 331 million pounds.
