The Argentine striker played half-time in the Catalan band’s Saturday night training match. According to a Spanish sports press report, Messi, who changed his intention to leave after a long tug of war, was in the first forty-five minutes - this time as team captain - against third-class Gimnástic de Tarragona, who was defeated 3-1 by La Liga’s silver medalist last season. Barca's goals were scored by Dembélé, Griezmann and Coutinho.
The coaching match was organized because his first-round league match against Elche was postponed as Barcelona made it to the Champions League final in August. In the La Liga, the Real Madrid-Getafe and Atlético Madrid-Sevilla clashes will be settled at a later date for a similar reason.
