The return of Lionel Messi to Barcelona's starting side has sent the team to even greater heights.

Messi returned to the side at the weekend in the 4-0 over Real Madrid after suffering an injury in September before starting in last night's demolition of Roma. The Catalan side won 6-1.

The Argentine scored two goals in the win, one of which involved all ten outfield players in the build up, as Barcelona found their rhythm and sent out warning signals to the rest of the competition.

Messi's second goal was Barcelona's fifth on the night as he finished a mishit Luis Suarez shot.

Without the injured Messi, Barcelona were still mesmerising with Suarez and Neymar, but the returning Argentine may be the final piece in a devastating Barcelona jigsaw.
