Leo Messi has more free kick goals than any other team

In the last five years he has scored 20 and 50 in total career wise

Joan Tura

Leo Messi never stops surprising. Against Real Valladolid he scored a spectacular free-kick, the third in Barca's 5-1 win. 

It was his second direct free kick goal this season and No 44 for Barcelona, the 50th of his career. He scores them in all ways, to the left, the right, above the wall, below it, even a floated one. 

In the last five years Messi has scored 20 free kicks. That is, per Misterchip, more goals than any team in Europe's five big leagues in the same period. 

 

Juventus have 15 free kicks scored in that time, via different goalscorers. Then follow Roma, PSG, and Lyon with 13, and Bologna with 12.
