Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, on Saturday, overtook
Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo’s direct free-kick goals record.
Messi achieved the record after scoring a free kick in
Barcelona’s 4-0 win over Granada.
Two goals each from Messi and Antoine Griezmann gave
Barcelona all three points against Granada at Los Cármenes Stadium.
Messi’s free-kick goal against Granada means the 33-year-old
has now scored 48 direct free-kick goals for Barcelona in all competitions (37
in LaLiga), one more than Ronaldo (47, 32 in league) in his professional club
career so far, according to Opta Jose.
Messi will now hope to continue his remarkable form for
Barcelona when they face Real Sociedad in the Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday.
The victory against Granada means Barcelona are now in the
third position on the La Liga table with 34 points from 18 games.
