VIDEO: Lionel Messi steers training shot into tiny net from miles out

Barcelona star Lionel Messi was enjoying some training in Japan ahead of Thursday's Club World Cup tie against Guangzhou Evergrande, and attempted a swerving, long-distance shot into a tiny training net.

Of course he got it in.

Barcelona has uncharacteristically drawn each of its last three games, and returns to domestic duty against Real Betis on Dec. 30.
