Goals in Spain, Portugal and Mexico as Lionel MESSI, Pablo PIATTI, Alan RUIZ and Rogelio FUNES MORI all find the back of the net.

Lionel MESSI continues his impressive run of free kick goals this year as the magical number 10 scored yet another one in Barcelona’s 3-0 win against Athletic Bilbao. MESSI has now scored four free kick goals in 2017, three of which have come against the Basque team. MESSI’s free kick goal is his 27th for Barcelona which makes him the player with the most free kick goals for the club.

Still in Spain, former Valencia man Pablo PIATTI scored for RCD Espanyol in their 1-0 win against Malaga. A long range strike from PIATTI was enough for Espanyol to pick up the win.

In Portugal, former Gimnasia and San Lorenzo player Alan RUIZ (also former Argentina U20) scored a fantastic goal for Sporting in their 2-1 loss to FC Porto. RUIZ controlled the ball with his chest and hit the volley past Iker CASILLAS for the goal.

In Mexico, it was one former River Plate player scoring against another. Rogelio FUNES MORI scored a nice little chip goal for Monterrey against BAROVERO’s Necaxa.

Though nothing official as we speak, this could a historic visit; if memory doesn’t fail me, Argentina’s Senior Team first trip to this part of Asia.

To add to Roy’s article on BAUZA’s visit to Inter to talk to Mauro ICARDI, related news is brewing back home in Argentina.

Diego MARADONA who was attending the Davis Cup tie between Argentina and Italy spoke to Ole and was very less enthusiastic about BAUZA’s visit.

“It’s better not to comment, but if (Edgardo) BAUZA met with (Mauro) ICARDI, I think he is a traitor too”.

It appears Diego isn’t keen to have ICARDI getting called up for Argentina after the scandal between ICARDI and his wife Wanda, in relation to Maxi LOPEZ. As such, he believes that ICARDI doesn’t deserve to wear the blue and white shirt, no matter what he does on the field.
