MESSI SCORES 50TH FREEKICK FOR BARCELONA
Lionel Messi scored the 50th freekick of his Barcelona career during their 3-2 win over Valencia on Sunday night
That was Messi’s third goal from a freekick this season – after strikes against Granada and Athletic Club – and, as mentioned, his 50th in all competitions for the Blaugrana.
The most free kicks the 32-year-old has scored in one season was in 2018/19, when he netted eight times from a dead ball. He did so seven times each in 2015/16 and 2017/18.
His first freekick goal arrived in the 2008/09 campaign, while he also netted five of them last season.
