Free-kick master & monster Lionel Messi named All Football Player of the Week

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has been named All Football Player of the Week.

Messi highlights our All Football Team of the Week and was selected as a competitive candidate in our All Football Player of the Week Vote, in which he casts the most votes beating Benzema, Lewandowski, Son and Haaland to the award.

After a toothless draw against Slavia in the Champions League, Messi led Barcelona to bounce back in the La Liga match facing Celta with an outrageous hat-trick including 2 free-kicks and a penalty.

The Barcelona captain had just completed his 50th free-kick in last Nou Camp match against Valladolid and the number increased to 52 on the weekend.

Is there anyone who does better in free-kick than Messi? At least no active player can produce such a brilliant performance of free-kick as the Argentine.

Leo has scored 33 free-kicks in last 10 seasons and no clubs in Europe's Top 5 leagues (not player) have a better number than him as Juventus have the most free-kicks scored with 31 goals.
