Barcelona's all time favorite player Lionel Messi made his first appearance after a failed attempt to leave the club. 

Messi played in a pre-season friendly match with Gymnastic de Tarragona. 

Messi returned back after Baca announces that he will stay as a team Captain. 

A 33 old Agentine player Messi requested to leave the club for free during August. However after many dialogues with the senior management Messi agreed to stay last week. 

This decision came after knowing that no club could afford his release clause, which costs 700m euros.

Since then Messi was not seen in the pitches of Baca, where lots of roumors went viral stating that Messi will use his Lawyers against Baca and leave the club during this transfer season. 

Baca will start it's season on Sunday, 27th September.
