Lionel Messi starred on his return to the Barcelona starting eleven on Sunday to inspire the team to a thumping 4-0 win against Osasuna in the Spanish La Liga.
The Argentine sensation missed the team’s big win against Dynamo Kyiv in midweek when the team sealed qualification to the knockout phase of this season’s Uefa Champions League.

Messi, 33, dazzled with his outstanding displays and finished off with a goal in the 74th minute after he was assisted by Francisco Trincão.
In the end, the impressive statistics behind his performance merited a high rating of 8.8 from top statistics providers, SofaScore.
On the Matchday, strikers Martin Braithwaite and Antoine Griezmann scored for Barcelona in the first half before Brazilian attacker Philippe Coutinho fired in the third goal in the 53rd minute.
Complementing, the Lionel Messi goal, Barcelona has run away with all 3 points and now sits 8th on the standings of the La Liga.
