(Video): Messi Scored In His First Game For PSG After Winning World Cup

Lionel Messi marked his return to club football in style, scoring in his first post-World Cup match for Paris Saint-Germain.

 The 35-year-old world champion found the back of the net as PSG returned to winning ways, posting a 2-0 victory over Angers on Wednesday evening. 

Messi was afforded an extended break after playing a starring role in Argentina's World Cup triumph in December, returning to training in the first week of the New Year. 

He was treated to a wholesome guard of honour by his teammates and the staff of PSG on his return to club action. 

Messi will do what he knows best, influencing the game, as the seven-time Ballon d'Or stroked home from close range to double PSG's lead.

Messi on target as PSG win 

Lionel Messi made his first appearance for Paris Saint-Germain since winning the World Cup with Argentina and scored in a 2-0 victory against Angers in Ligue 1 on Wednesday. 

The win, which came three and a half weeks after he captained Argentina to their World Cup final triumph on penalties against France in Qatar, saw PSG move six points clear at the top of the French table.

 Messi had been rested for PSG's first three matches following the long break in the season caused by the World Cup, but he returned to training in Paris a week ago and was back in the starting line-up for this match against Ligue 1's bottom side.
