Leo Messi never stops surprising. Against Real Valladolid he scored a spectacular free-kick, the third in Barca's 5-1 win.
It was his second direct free kick goal this season and No 44 for Barcelona, the 50th of his career. He scores them in all ways, to the left, the right, above the wall, below it, even a floated one.
In the last five years Messi has scored 20 free kicks. That is, per Misterchip, more goals than any team in Europe's five big leagues in the same period.
Juventus have 15 free kicks scored in that time, via different goalscorers. Then follow Roma, PSG, and Lyon with 13, and Bologna with 12.

Y'all just imagine if MESSI had started his career at the same time with RONALDO!! All these comparison woulda been buried or gone extinct for long time.. 118 or 119 less appearances 🙈🙈🙆🙆 Folks saying RONALDO is a better goal scorer than Messi makes me laugh... Stats says otherwise. Imagine one combining the art of dribbling, chances creation, scoring, operating deep from the midfield and still accumulated these MIND BLOWING stats..... While the other one is just a goal poacher... We are just FORTUNATE to witness the both though... 😍😍😍 #ViscalMessi...

I remember people used to say Messi only scored so many goals bcos of Xavi and Iniesta and the likes. After those guys left or grew older ,they started saying it's bcos of Neymar. Neymar left. And now some of them don't have anyone to point. Messi has always scored multiple goals regardless of the coach or the players around him ,the man is a natural. It must be hurtful to be anti Messi bcos everywhere you will go u will read or find his name. The great CR7 is now struggling to post those huge figures he used to. Messi has maintained scoring almost 40-50 goals a season while CR7 is struggling. Even the most confident of CR7 fan can now say they don't think CR7 will score over 40goals. He can but it's not a guarantee like it used to. Messi will. It was a guarantee and it remains so for Messi. So people will start saying Serie A is difficult to score in ,then we will remind them Higuian scored over 35 goals at Napoli. So u see , R Madrid had a great team. You need a great team around you to be successful. CR7 benefited a lot from the younger and hungrier Marcelo , Modric, Ozil, Di Maria,Pepe, Xavi Alonso,the ever great Ramos, etc and yet his senseless fans behaved like he was the sole reason for Madrid's excellent wins. And now they are feeling it, he is struggling to score at Juventus ,if he were still at Madrid he would probably be approaching 20goals or more , he would have scored multiple times in UCL already. He doesn't have the same great team he had at Madrid, who made him look better than he was, who knew where to put the ball for him to score. So the tables have changed, and us -the Messi fans- are saying he is struggling bcos he doesn't have the great team he had at Madrid,he only scored bcos of them ,and he won't score many goals bcos they are not there. How things change.
