It is worth noting that Barcelona have scored one free-kick in a competitive match since Lionel Messi left them for French Champions Paris Saint-Germain 2021.

Ferran Torres was the man to do so after scoring for Barcelona on September 16th in their impressive 5-0 win over Real Betis in La Liga.

They had taken a staggering 41 shots without finding the net from a direct free-kick, which shows how incredibly talented Messi was, per Goal.
