After spending most of his holidays in Brazil, Lionel Messi is back to Barcelona, this Wednesday, with a few extra pounds. But since in his contract it appears that the Argentinean is obligated to play at least 30 minutes in each game, coach Pep Guardiola did not spare him from playing against Korea during the team´s Asian tour.
* Pep was worried that because of the extra weight, he could get injured. But Messi, being the champion he is, went to the field on the first 29 and scored two goals that put Barcelona for the first time, in advantage. Since then, the Korean team could not control the game, which ended in 5-2 for the Catalans.
