Lionel Messi was in and out of Italy for a quick but important appointment.
Lionel Messi made an 'express' and 'rapid' visit to Italy to see his famed nutritionist Giuliano Poser.
"Poser changed Messi's diet which has helped the Argentine star perform at his extraordinary level," as stated by Spanish outlet SPORT.

The 31-year-old went early on Monday and had returned to Spain by 3 pm accompanied with Barcelona player liaison officer Pepe Costa.
He stores a lot of trust in Poser who has been working as his dietitian for several years now.
His last meeting happened in May, prior to the 2018 World Cup.

SPORT add: "The doctor uses Bach flower remedies as part of his work with elite sports people."
It's clearly working as Messi has been producing ridiculous performances across all competitions.
Messi isn't Poser's only high-profile client. He also works with Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Paris Saint-Germain's Angel Di Maria.

Meanwhile, the five-time Ballon d'Or recently made history by becoming the very first player to score 400 league goals for a single club in Europe's Top 5 League.
An incredible feat for a truly incredible player.

Anyway, Barcelona have two fixtures in the space of a few days this week. They entertain Levante in the second leg of the Copa del Rey before facing Leganes in the league.
