Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi is back scoring top-class free-kick goals.
Messi ended his free-kick goal drought in the Argentina national team’s recent 3-0 international friendly win over Jamaica. The Argentine forward made it back-to-back matches with a free-kick goal in PSG’s Ligue 1 home fixture against OGC Nice.
OGC Nice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel simply did not have much of a chance of stopping this stout free-kick attempt from Messi
