Barcelona wonderkid Lionel Messi has sent out a message to the rest of the world he is back in business after scoring in Argentina's 6-0 defeat over Serbia and Montenegro.
Messi, 18, saw his progress hampered by a thigh injury in the run-up to the tournament. But he stepped off the bench on Friday to score the final goal in his country's 6-0 romp. Messi looked full of running when he came on and is thrilled to be involved at this level.
"I am happy because we played well," he told Argentina's Canal 13. "I wanted to play some minutes and am pleased to have scored."
