Lionel Messi scored a stunning free-kick to open the scoring for Paris Saint-Germain in Saturday evening’s Ligue 1 clash against Nice.
It was a pinpoint free-kick from the Argentine superstar in the 28 th minute of the clash at the Parc des Princes, after he was fouled in the centre of the D of the opposition side’s penalty area. He bent the ball superbly over the wall with his left boot, though Nice cancelled it out with an equaliser just after half-time.
The sublime finish was illustrative of the confidence and form of Messi, though, who has been among the goals in recent weeks having endured a comparatively lean spell in front of goal during his first full season at the French club following his high-profile move from Barcelona a year ago.
