CGTN Sports Talk host Hu Zhicheng is joined by senior expert Josh McNally to reflect on the Lionel Messi saga.

The six-time Ballon d'Or winner was back in full training with his Barcelona teammates on Wednesday for the first time since ending his stand-off with the Spanish giants. 

However, the story is not over yet. 

As modern football has become more about regaining than retaining the ball, is the 33-year-old Messi still at the peak of his powers?
