Step aside, Ronald Koeman. Lionel Messi stands alone.
The unrivalled Argentine megastar scored the 27th free-kick goal of his superlative Barcelona career on Saturday, surpassing the Dutchman as the club's all-time leader in the category.
It wasn't his best effort - the tally was more a product of Gorka Iraizoz's error than anything else - but the record is now Messi's nonetheless.
