Lionel Messi netted yet another exquisite free-kick on Saturday evening.

The Argentine forward has made free-kicks look like penalties over the course of his glittering career.

But, prior to Paris Saint-Germain's match against Nice at the Parc des Princes this weekend, Messi had not yet scored a free-kick for the French giants.

He managed to end that barren run in style in the 28th minute.

Messi won a free-kick roughly 25 yards out when he was felled by Dante. The 35-year-old dusted himself down and proceeded to strike a glorious effort into the top corner.

Messi still way off top spot

Messi is undoubtedly the best set-piece taker in the world at the moment, but three players have scored more free-kick goals at club level than him in the 21st century.

Ronaldinho scored 55 club free-kicks during his career, four more than Messi.

Rogerio Ceni - a goalkeeper - scored a ridiculous 59 free-kicks.

While the great Juninho Pernambucano is well out in front. Messi is 23 club free-kicks away from matching the great Brazilian's tally.

As amazing as Messi is, this is one record we just can't see him breaking.
