A superb free kick into the very top corner without a doubt and one that mixes exceptional talent with lots of practice, Messi got his head well over the ball and 'punched' it rather than swung at it full power. However Messi was a long way out and he'd 'stolen' at least two yards from the place of the original foul whilst on the other hand Allison stood too much to his left and showed him too much room. I know Suarez was also standing over the ball to give the right footed option into the other corner (why don't we do that? I've been banging on about that basic for years) but it's very small margins that make the difference at that level.
Should we have a poll which was most unstoppable shot? Both left peggers btw. Messi's free kick above v Vrancic's impossible swerve against us last Saturday. My vote goes to Vrancic btw.

It's a feature of schoolboy football but why does it still happen with experienced professionals? It bloody well shouldn't that's for sure.
