Messi has 60 free kick goals in his career. Scored for PSG for the first time and widened the lead over Ronaldo

The first goal in the match PSG Nice (2:1) was scored by Leo Messi. The Argentinean easily threw the wall from a free kick Kasper Schmeichel just followed the ball with his eyes.

The free-kick scored was Messi's 60th in his career and the first for PSG. The last time Leo scored from a set piece for the club was in May 2021, when Valencia was unlucky (and it was in Barça). After that, there were 29 attempts (26 at PSG) and none were successful. In Ligue 1, Messi's free 1win-azerbaycan.com kicks hit the post three times (against Lyon, Rennes and Lille). Now, with blows, full order before the goal of Nice Messi slyly struck under the wall in a freight train against Jamaica. To score from free kicks in two games in a row sounds like something unique. But not for Leo. He had series and three games in a row with a free-kick.

A little more about national team penalties. The tournament breakdown is as follows: World Cup qualifier 4 America's Cup 3 World Cup 1 friendly matches 1

A nice bonus for Messi, the lead over Cristiano Ronaldo has increased.< /p>

The year breakdown is even more impressive. By 2011, Ronaldo had scored 30 free kicks. Messi only has 4.

The Portuguese last scored from a free-kick on April 16 against Norwich. Prior to that, Cristiano suffered 651 days of dry streak since July 4, 2020, when Ronaldo scored a free kick against Torino. Given the implementation of Ronaldo (in Juve 1 goal for 71 hits, in Manchester United 1 for 10), Messi's lead will only increase.
