Do you think Messi has been working on his free kicks, so he won't ever repeat the same mistake as in the world cup final? In the final he shanked it from a very similar position, where he scored against Espanyol.
In the final he had waaaay more pressure tho, consider that it was the last occasion of the match

espanyol isnt the german nt and the argentine nt isnt barca
puting messi into 16m zone would be a waste as he is too short, but he got some decent drive to his kick
>>64744490
no, he's p bad. he'll probably miss the next 10-15 chances

80% of his freekicks since he came back from injury have hit the crossbar. the remaining 20 percent have grazed the side netting and tops
Messi has been working on his freekicks ever since he started to take them for Barcelona in 2009 IIRC
the problem is he's not very gifted as a FK taker, i'd say his accuracy can be considered 7/10 but more often than not you'll see the keeper saving his shots because there wasn't enough power behind them even when they were well placed
also although you can't really use luck as factor to measure a fk taker's quality, messi has been consistently hitting the bar through all these years, so those who don't watch him play regularly will think he's getting better when in fact he's about the same as always but slightly more fortunate

so he's missed 100% of them?

Neuer is also standing on the better side than the keeper he scored against the other day.
