For the third time in eight days, Lionel Messi showed the world why he is considered to be one of the best free kick takers in the world.
The Argentinean sealed Barcelona's spot in the Copa del Rey quarter finals with a top-class finish via a free kick. With this goal, he matched a long standing record established by Ronald Koeman with 26 goals via free kicks.
"He's done it again! Messi has scored 26 free kick goals in his playing career for Barcelona, matching Koeman's tally."
