Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has been named All Football Player of the Week.
Messi highlights our All Football Team of the Week and was selected as a competitive candidate in our All Football Player of the Week Vote, in which he casts the most votes beating Benzema, Lewandowski, Son and Haaland to the award.
After a toothless draw against Slavia in the Champions League, Messi led Barcelona to bounce back in the La Liga match facing Celta with an outrageous hat-trick including 2 free-kicks and a penalty.
The Barcelona captain had just completed his 50th free-kick in last Nou Camp match against Valladolid and the number increased to 52 on the weekend.
Is there anyone who does better in free-kick than Messi? At least no active player can produce such a brilliant performance of free-kick as the Argentine.
Leo has scored 33 free-kicks in last 10 seasons and no clubs in Europe's Top 5 leagues (not player) have a better number than him as Juventus have the most free-kicks scored with 31 goals.
