Lionel Messi is the king of Ligue 1 free-kicks this season, scoring five in just three games. The Argentine forward has been a force to be reckoned with in European football and his performances have not gone unnoticed.
Messi's first goal came against Rennes on September 26th, where he scored a stunning free-kick that left the goalkeeper no chance. He followed up with another impressive effort against Nice two days later, again demonstrating his ability to score from distance.
In between those two games, Messi played for Argentina in their World Cup qualifying match against Bolivia. Despite being substituted off early, he was still able to make an impact, scoring a crucial penalty to help his team secure victory.
The final game of the month saw Messi put on a show once more, scoring a stunning free-kick against Monaco to give Barcelona a 1-0 lead at half-time. His performance earned him praise from all corners of the world and cemented his status as one of the greatest free-kick takers in history.
Overall, Messi's performances in Europe have been nothing short of exceptional this season. His ability to take free-kicks from long range and create goals has been a major factor in Barcelona's success so far. With his form continuing to improve, it will be interesting to see how he performs in the coming months and if he can continue to dominate in the league.
