Lionel Messi and his Barcelona team have put in a good performance in their final preparation for their La Liga opener this weekend.

Leo captained the team to the Spanish Super Cup win and also showed up for the Joan Gamper Trophy at the Camp Nou.

FC Barcelona took their 53rd Gamper Trophy game once again in a festive Camp Nou thanks to a 3-0 victory over Argentine league champions Boca Juniors.

Malcom opened the scoring with an assist from Messi before the Argentina grabbed a goal of his own. And then Rafinha rounding off the victory in a game that had magical moments from Philippe Coutinho and Riqui Puig.

For Messi’s performance in the game he picked up the Estrella Damm award as the best player in the Joan Gamper Trophy.

The beer company are one of Barcelona’s sponsors and company chief Jofre Riera presented the prize to Messi.

Meanwhile, Messi has promised fans that this season would be a successful one. “We have a great squad to get excited about and those who have come in will help us to get better.”

“Last season was really good as we did the double but we all felt bad about how it went in the Champions League.

“We promise that this season we will all we can to bring that trophy back to Camp Nou,” concluded the Argentine before rounding off with a vociferous ‘Visca el Barça i Visca Catalunya!’
