Watch the video of Lionel Messi scoring a brilliant free-kick against Real Betis in the La Liga.
Barcelona traveled to Benito Villamarin to face Real Betis in the La Liga. The starting minutes of the game was intense, but it came down to the fantastic free-kick from Lionel Messi in the 18th minute. The Argentine International added another goal before the half time to take a two-goal cushion into the second half.
It was a fantastic free-kick from Lionel Messi to beat the goalkeeper Pau Lopez. Barcelona’s Skipper has always opted to place the ball in the top far corner, but he instead fired the ball to goalkeeper’s near post and beat him to perfection.

Leo Messi makes it 9 goals and 4 assists in his last 6 games, including this trade mark free kick v Betis. That’s why, for me, Messi always comes out on top in any discussion about the best player in the world. He takes your breath away on a weekly basis pic.twitter.com/uQjSvuvHjk

It was a great assist from Luis Suarez to set up Lionel Messi for the second goal. The Uruguyuan International picked out a peach of a delivery to find his teammate to double the scoreline.
Barcelona’s Number 9 himself added one in this game with a spectacular solo run in the second leg as they move an inch closer towards yet another victory.
The duo has combined together to devastating effect craving apart the defense of Real Betis.
