Barcelona's Lionel Messi: Perfect free kick in 1-1 draw

Messi evened the score late with a free kick from just outside the box that went into the upper corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Villarreal. He finished with six shots, seven chances created and four fouls drawn.

Analysis:

Barcelona had plenty of possession and opportunities in this match, but couldn't capitalize on more. Messi continues to score, which isn't surprising, but his assist numbers remain low with three on the season.
