India head coach Ravi Shastri on Sunday expressed his delight at being able to see a 'great team' like FC Barcelona back in action again as Spanish LaLiga resumed after being halted for close to 100 days due to the coronavirus crisis.
"Great to see a great team back on the park alive and kicking," Shastri said in a tweet with pictures of Messi and the Barcelona's match against Real Mallorca.
Arturo Vidal, Martin Braithwaite, Jordi Alba and Messi scored a goal each as Barca is at the top of the table with 61 points in 28 matches.

The BCCI is looking at a similar window for the 13th edition of the IPL which got postponed from March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
