Lionel Messi has done it again! Watch Barcelona superstar score stunning goal in Argentina training

Lionel Messi tormented Chelsea in the Champions League recently and it appears that Italy defenders will have their hands full if this footage of the Argentina star in training is anything to go by.

Messi and the rest of his Argentina team-mates have been preparing for their friendly game against Italy at Manchester City's training base this week.

Ahead of the match, which takes place at the Etihad Stadium on Friday night, the 30-year-old gave yet another demonstration of just what he could do with a superb solo strike in training on Wednesday afternoon.

Messi - who has scored eight goals in his last six games for Barcelona, including a brace against Chelsea in the Champions League - received the ball in midfield before embarking on a driving run, cutting in, skipping past three more defenders and firing in a low shot into the back of the net.

The goal was captured by the Argentina official Instagram account, who wrote next to the clip: "A jewel! Lionel Messi's goal in afternoon training".
