Messi appeared at training with a 'new look'

After Barcelona's shocking Champions League 'knock-out', it was Messi who was being talked about. Specifically, about Barcelona's dependence on their Argentine striker's goals.

Although the aftermath of the defeat at Anfield brought about changes in other ways. Lionel Messi showed up to training without a beard. His 'new look' was one of the main talking points at the team's final training session ahead of their clash with Getafe this Sunday.

Despite not being strictly sporting news, Messi's new appearance sparked a flood of discussion over whether it suited him or not.

The last time Lionel Messi opted to be fully shaven was just before he was recalled to the Argentine squad to face Venezuela in a friendly in Madrid.
