📊 All the numbers as Lionel Messi scores 50th career free-kick | OneFootball
Lionel Messi has officially scored the 50th free kick of his ridiculous career.
Stepping up against Real Valladolid on Tuesday, 25 yards out, he caressed the ball past goalkeeper Jordi Masip in typical Messi fashion.

That’s now 44 for Barcelona and six for Argentina – but how does he compare to other great free kick takers?
- Juninho Pernambucano (77)
- Pelé (70)
- Victor Legrottaglie, Ronaldinho (66)
- David Beckham (65)
- Diego Maradona, Zico (62)
- Ronald Koeman (60)
- Rogerio Ceni, Marcelinho Carioca (59)
Who’d have thought it! No Messi or Ronaldo in the top 10 free-kick takers in football history.
Fear not, lads, there’s still plenty of time. And we wouldn’t bet against them.
