Lionel Messi scored a free-kick against Villarreal
The 31-year-old also became the first player in Europe’s top five leagues to score six or more direct free-kicks in every season since 2006/07.
Messi started on the bench for their league match at Villarreal and, despite going 2-0 up after 16 minutes, found themselves 4-2 down heading into injury time.
Luis Suarez scored their third to cut the deficit before the Argentina international stepped up with a pinpoint free-kick into the bottom corner to rescue a point for Barcelona.
It does not matter if the ball is on the edge of the 18-yard box or 30-yards out, Messi will find a way to score.
