Lionel Messi has touched back down in Barcelona after pulling out of the Argentina squad due to injury.
The talisman had made his much anticipated return to the national set-up ahead of a friendly with Venezuela, but his dream comeback was soon tainted.
A groin injury meant the 31-year-old had to make the journey back to Catalonia, and now faces a race to be fit in time for the upcoming Champions League quarter-final clash with Manchester United.
