For those who doubted his brilliance Lionel Messi has proved he is back to his best and admitted that much ahead of the world cup in Qatar with a breathtaking goal in the friendly match between Argentina and Honduras putting his first poor season at PSG behind him.

Having played a key role in Argentina's first goal, Messi scored the second from 12 yards, before producing a moment of magic that seemingly only he could pull off by chipping Luis Aurelio Lopez Fernandez in the Honduras goal from 25 yards. 

Having joined the French champions last season on a free transfer from Barcelona, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner struggled to find his feet, but has sent a warning to Europe's elite that he is back to his best after impressing this term. 

Messi has in just 11 games this season for PSG scored 14 goals, and has been in stunning form for his country in the international break, scoring a chip from 25 yards. 

Thus football fans across the world would get to see the best of three most exciting talents in Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe already they have netted 43 goals together.

As much as his coaches for club and country will be excited as Messi's form has seen him excel for his country too scoring a brace against Honduras less than two months out from the World Cup, including a typically stunning chip from the ex- Barcelona super star.
