Lionel Messi made his first appearance for Barcelona since his failed attempt to leave the club, playing in their friendly with Gimnastic de Tarragona.
The 33-year-old Argentine submitted a transfer request in August but decided to stay last week because no club would be able to afford his release clause.
Messi started in the 3-1 win over third-tier Nastic after the club confirmed he would remain as captain.
He was replaced along with the other starters at half-time.
Ousmane Dembele opened the scoring with Antoine Griezmann and Phillipe Coutinho netting penalties.

Lionel Messi is in the Barcelona squad for Saturday’s friendly with Gimnastic, but Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal will not be involved.
Captain Messi is in line to appear in Ronald Koeman’s first match in charge despite having tried to engineer a move away from Barca in the past month.
The Argentina star decided to stay at Camp Nou for the final season of his deal rather than threaten Barca with a lawsuit, having tried unsuccessfully to argue that the clause allowing him to terminate his contract was still valid
