The Argentine striker scored the opening goal for Los Blaugranas after 21 minutes thanks to a massive free kick.

Barcelona's first goal of the evening will go down in history as one of Messi's best free kick goals in his career. Furthermore, "La Pulga" matched one of the most complicated records he could accomplish with his fourth free kick goal in the current season.

Messi's strike matched his tally of the 2015-2016 season, but he's done it with several games left in this competition. Only Ronaldinho, with six free kick goals in the 2006-07 season, scored more than the Argentine ace. All these stats are provided by Mister Chip.
