Barcelona: Earlier this year, Legendary footballer Messi and club Barcelona had a bad fallout as the striker had expressed his desire to leave the club. However, in the end, Messi stayed with the Spanish side as he did not want to settle matters in court. Now, Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has said that the striker is training hard every day to play games for the club. 

A website quoted Koeman as saying, "In theory, it's the same for every player. If he is fit to play and good enough, then he will. But, of course, Leo is older than before, although he's a player who still wants to be in games, and especially to win them. He trains hard every day. He's very engaged." 

Meanwhile, Messi on Wednesday broke the record of former footballer Pele. He surpasses Pele as the highest goalscorer ever for a single club during Barcelona's 3-0 win over Valladolid. Messi scored the third goal of the match as he set a new world record. He has now scored a staggering 644 goals, all wearing an FC Barcelona shirt, across 17 seasons and 749 games.
