Lionel Messi scored a free kick for Barcelona in their 2-1 win vs. Athletic Bilbao

The Argentine stepped up and his effort gave Barcelona the 1-0 lead, despite Bilbao having a player on the line trying to clear it. He has now scored 650 goals for Barcelona, 55 of them free kicks.

Barcelona are now second in the standings behind only Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid team.
