It took Lionel Messi all of three minutes to find the back of the net against Celtic in Barcelona's opening fixture in the 2016-17 Champions League, with the diminutive Argentine smashing his shot past Dorus De Vries with ferocity.
Messi combined wonderfully with Neymar in the buildup to the goal, with the two blond-haired attackers linking up with Luis Suarez for the first time this season in the infamous "MSN" trio that has dominated in the last two years.
The goal also marks a personal record for the Argentina man:
