Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi picked up where he left off after the World Cup.

Messi was back for PSG in Ligue 1 on Wednesday night, making his return to action following the winter tournament.

Messi capped off an excellent PSG move to give them a 2-0 lead against Angers in the 72nd minute.

Nordi Mukiele got assists for both the goals, including Messi's and Hugo Ekitike's first.

PSG are still at the top of the table in Ligue 1, after rivals Lens dropped points after a 2-2 draw against Strasbourg.

Messi and his teammates are not only hoping for league success this term, but to win the Champions League as well.
