Barcelona faced Sampdoria in the 51st edition of the Joan Gamper Trophy last night and basically, Lionel Messi ran the show.

As well as assisting Luis Suarez with an incredible overhead kick, Messi bagged a superb 30 yard free-kick in the second half, a huge indication that the Argentinian is ready to rule the roost once again.

It came as no surprise when Messi was announced Man of the Match shortly after the final whistle.

Just take a look at this free-kick. Unstoppable.

Despite Sampdoria pulling a goal back, Barcelona left with an another trophy, winning the tie 3-2 after goals from Messi (X2) and Luis Suarez.

How will Barca get on this season?

Let us know your thoughts.
