Messi's action comes a day after he was left out of the starting eleven that lost to Real Sociedad 0-1 in a La Liga encounter sparking rumours that he wanted to leave Nou Camp.
The talismanic forward also missed a training session Monday and later started following Chelsea, reports dailymail.co.uk.
The 27-year-old also started following Chelsea stars Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Filipe Luis on the photo-sharing platform.
