He's back at it again.

Have you ever watched Lionel Messi line up to take a free kick, and not think that he's definitely going to score?

Barcelona's talisman is one of the best free-kick takers in the world, and he's delivered once again with an absolutely stunning strike against PSV. https://twitter.com/VMSportIE/status/1042108857085046785 Barca have started their season well, as they look to retain the La Liga title and regain the Champions League from their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
