'Tired' Messi steals the show

Calcutta: If the morning sun tells you how a day will unfold, then Lionel Messi’s first practice in the city could only augment the mercury in an already hot barometer. The high point of the session was when Messi belligerently controlled a cross off Angel di Maria with his chest, only to bring the ball down to fire a salvo off his left foot. The Simbolo (the official ball of the match) got past second goalkeeper Mariano Andujar, but only ended in shaking the bar. Despite not being in his usual self (because of jet lag) where he would dodge and dribble past defenders to leave them in a tizzy, Messi did not fail to mesmerise in his first training session in the city.
