Lionel Messi
62 career FK goals. 1.8m late dip in 2022 WC SF. Evolved technique post-2016. Most by any active player.
His free-kick technique evolved significantly from 2016 onwards, when he developed a low, skimming strike that dips late under the bar rather than curling over a wall. His World Cup free-kick against Croatia in the 2022 semifinal, struck at 95 km/h with a 1.8 metre late dip, was technically analysed as among the most difficult free-kicks ever converted.
