Barcelona 3 - 1 Girona : Lionel Messi scores twice in Barcelona friendly win over Girona
Lionel Messi scored twice as Barcelona eased to a 3-1 victory over Girona in their second preseason friendly under Ronald Koeman on Wednesday.
Philippe Coutinho struck the crossbar early on before giving Barca the lead midway through the first half, tapping into an empty net after brilliant link play between Messi and new signing Francisco Trincao.
Messi then doubled Barca's advantage later in the half, spinning away from a defender to thump a shot in off the post and score for the first time since threatening to leave the club last month.
Samu Saiz scored for Girona right at the start of the second period but Barca's captain struck again in the 50th minute, also cutting inside to shoot from outside the area but this time benefiting from a heavy deflection.
