Messi Back From Injury, Scores On His First Touch, Is Still Pretty Good

It's probably safe to say that hammy's not bothering Lionel Messi too much anymore. After being held out of last week's Champions League match against Bayern Munich, Messi returned today in the 56th minute just as Barcelona were thinking about maybe not beating La Liga foes Real Betis. He quickly put a stop to all that.

He scored again 11 minutes later, because of course. Barça won 4-2, and one more win in their next four will have them crowned La Liga champions.
