It is widely understood that Lionel Messi's diet is a crucial part of his greatness and what has allowed him to become arguably the best player to ever kick a football.
Nutritionist Guiluano Poser leads the way and Messi follows as it concerns his diet. This is why the Argentine paid an express visit to Italy on Monday to see him.
The visit which came after Messi made yet more history at the weekend when he struck his 400th La Liga goal as Barcelona saw off Eibar 3 - 0 on Sunday to consolidate their place at the top of the table took only few hours as he was back in Catalonia by 3 p.m. same day.
Messi, who travelled alongside Barca player liaison officer Pepe Costa, is no stranger to visiting Poser who has emerged as a vital part of his team.
His last trip came prior to the World Cup in Russia when Argentina disappointingly bowed out at the last-16 stage.
Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria and Luciano Vietto are also among Vietto's clients.
Messi’s strike on Sunday reaffirmed his place among football's immortals and helped ensure Barca would maintain their five-point cushion from second-placed Atletico Madrid.
The Catalan giants sit 10 points clear of Clasico rivals Real Madrid who are fourth in La Liga after a nightmare season so far.
They host Levante in the second leg of their Copa del Rey last-16 clash in their next game on Thursday.
