Lionel Messi is Good at Scoring a Long-Distance Goal

DBasia.news –  Two goals and two assists scored by Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi, when his team crushed Real Valladolid in the follow-up to LaLiga.

Lionel Messi’s first goal came in the 34th minute. At that time, Barcelona was 2-1 ahead.

Lionel Messi is believed to be the executor of the free kick right in front of the penalty box. After taking a swing, Messi fired a curling shot towards the left side of the goal. Jordi Masip tries to reach the ball but to no avail. It was Messi’s 50th goal from a free-kick.

Based on the Onefootball report, it was Messi’s 10th goal coming from outside the penalty box in the last two seasons. This number puts the 32-year-old in the highest position compared to players from five other top European leagues.

Meanwhile, the second and third ranks are occupied by two Napoli officials, Dries Mertens and Arkadiusz Milik. Both players are collecting seven goals from outside the penalty box.

After the goal, the Argentine national team striker again listed his name on the scoreboard in the 75th minute. Receiving feedback from Ivan Rakitic, Messi fired hard which again could not be dammed Masip.

Two minutes later, Messi provided an accurate pass which Luis Suarez completed as a goal. Barcelona ended the match with a 5-1 victory.

Two goals and two assists are proof Barcelona still need Lionel Messi. Not surprisingly, Barca always tried hard to maintain the superstar.

This season, Barca returned to get the exam because Lionel Messi was still reluctant to sign the new contract given. Reportedly, there is a clause that frees the player to choose the destination club at each end of the season transfer window.
