Lionel Messi managed to score his 50th free-kick last week.
And he notched his 51st AND 52nd career free-kick during Barcelona vs Celta on Saturday evening.
Messi opened the scoring from the penalty spot, only for Celta to net a free-kick of their own three minutes before half-time.
The Argentine forward had the chance to give his side the lead on the stroke of half-time when they were awarded a free-kick 25 yards out from goal.
And the result was inevitable. Messi whacked his effort beyond the despairing dive of Ruben Blanco.

And what did he do three minutes after half-time? Score another free-kick, of course...
Barcelona were given another set-piece from 25 yards out when Frenkie de Jong was felled just outside the box.
And Messi managed to score an almost identical free-kick to his one in the first 45 minutes.
What a way to complete your hat-trick. That's Messi's FOURTH free-kick already this season.
He's scored four of his last seven free-kicks. He's now scored 22 free-kicks in the last five seasons, seven more than any other CLUB.
Saturday evening was the third time Messi has scored two free-kicks in one game.
He did so against Sevilla in the 2015/16 UEFA Super Cup and Espanyol in December 2018.
Messi may well be the best free-kick taker of all-time. That is not an exaggeration.
Sergio Busquets also found himself on the scoresheet and praised Messi after the game.
"We have a very big advantage, he's the best in the world and also the best free-kick taker in the world," Busquets told Movistar about Messi, per Marca."He's been improving bit by bit and it was difficult. Having him is a very big advantage."
