The four-time Ballon d'Or winner found the net after Neymar had opened the scoring before Ivan Rakitic fired in an unstoppable third to seal an easy victory and the Joan Gamper Trophy.
But it was the first half flashpoint between Messi and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa which caught the eye the most.
The Argentine clashed with the Roma defender after the two had exchanged words, visibly pushing his head into the Frenchman before grabbing his throat.
Neymar opened the scoring in neat fashion on his return to the side after Copa America efforts before Messi doubled the lead shortly after.
Rakitic's third was the pick of the bunch, firing in from fully 25-yards into the top corner, which sealed the win at the Camp Nou.
Manchester United target Pedro, who will complete a move to Old Trafford later this week, was warmly applauded throughout in what shuld prove his final appearance for the Blaugrana.
