Absolutely insane performance. Two world class goals and two world class assists.

Surely he is the best FK taker in the world right now?

I'm fairly sure he has like thrice the amount of FK goals the past three seasons, than the next one. He has as many FK goals as Cronaldo has gotten past the wall (9), since moving to Juve.

Read a stat out there that he has scored as many FK goals since CR joined Juve as CR has gotten a FK past the wall Laughing

Long time ago, Messi has 619 club goals.

by Myesyats Wed Oct 30, 2019 3:37 pm

You sure you're not counting some unofficial games?

by Harmonica Wed Oct 30, 2019 3:53 pm

No, official club goals at senior level. 608 is goals at first level.

So the conversion rate has actually been about 1/5 the past two years. That's why it feels like he scores from every freekick.

1 - Players with the most direct free-kick shots and goals in top 5 European leagues since 2018:

LIONEL MESSI 78/16
Clément Grenier 46/2
Memphis Depay 40/3
A. Kolarov 32/4
Florent Mollet 31/3
Wylan Cyprien 30/2
Nabil Fekir 29/3
Daniel Parejo 28/2
Cristiano Ronaldo 28/0

His free kick secret is curving the ball. Actually great air passers are great free kick takers. in the end its the same task. When Messi makes a long air pass its always on target

by BarcaLearning Mon Nov 11, 2019 6:27 pm

Messi still gives us moments of 'wow I just saw something thats incredible and amazing' Smile

It was especially special since it came shortly after the opposition player scored such a great freekick too, like saying - Im the real Boss/King of freekicks. See his facial expression and seriousness and focus when he took that first freekick. It was actually the first time I felt Messi was sexy, lol!

Meh, let me know when he finally surpasses Gyan freaking Asamoah's world cup goal tally.

30th goal against Atletico. Could hit 700th official senior career goal before christmas, making Messi (32.5) the youngest ever to do so, beating Pele by 6 months.

Leaked news say Messi has won balón de oro.

by Harmonica Mon Dec 02, 2019 8:14 am

Well it would be first time in four years, it was actually given to the best performing individual. But Ballon d'Or is kind of redudant title now when Fifa Mens Best Player includes captains, players and coaches, and media vote already.

you can tell it by looking at messi's face. in the last days he is happy for some reason

by BarcaLearning Mon Dec 02, 2019 12:01 pm

30th goal vs Atletico is scary enough lol. I mean this team has rarely conceded goals in the past number of seasons under Simone if u know how they play.

Finally things will be back to where they should be, Messi having more Ballon D'or than Ronaldo Very Happy

by Myesyats Mon Dec 02, 2019 12:07 pm

This Atleti gives me flashbacks of 10/11 or 11/12 Atleti when we manita'd them without dropping a sweat
