The GOAT hit yet another landmark at the Camp Nou
Lionel Messi hit yet another landmark on Tuesday night as he scored the 50th free-kick of his career for Barcelona against Real Valladolid.
The Barcelona captain had already picked up an assist during the game by teeing up Arturo Vidal to make it 2-1 and added the hosts’ third on 34 minutes after Nelson Semedo had been fouled.
Messi whipped the ball over the wall and past a helpless Jordi Masip in the visitors’ goal to hit his half-century of free-kick goals;.
Leo #Messi's long-range strike just moments ago was his 50th free-kick goal as a professional!
