Lionel Messi Gets a New haircut for the new season [PHOTOS]

Messi may be hardly the apogee of narcissism - but that hasn't stopped him getting a natty new makeover ahead of the new La Liga season.
The Barcelona star's new barnet gives his head a streamlined look, with a severely-shaved back and sides complemented by his usual fluffy quiff on top.
Perhaps the severity of the haircut was Messi's way of getting over his World Cup final heartbreak. See more pics below...
