Koeman mark at Barca -Barcelona’s Messi equals

Almost everything Lionel Messi does looks effortless but the Barcelona forward insists a lot

of practice goes into trying to perfect the free-kicks which have contributed a sizeable chunk of his goals this season.
The 28-year-old Argentine has scored seven goals from direct free-kicks in this year’s La Liga, the latest in Sunday’s 5-0 triumph over Espanyol.
Messi now has 23 goals from free-kicks in his career at the club, equaling the previous record of former Barcelona star Ronald Koeman.
