Someone’s been working on their right.
Lionel Messi rattled two right-footed goals home for Barcelona this afternoon as they made light work of Cordoba, winning 5-0 at the Nou Camp.
You’d think that would be bigger news but, in actual fact, that’s Leo’s 11th strike this season with his weaker foot. 11 in 23, two with his head, Messi now has scored more goals with his right this campaign than he has with that wand on the other side.
The goals were more significant as well because they brought the Argentine wonder to 50 for Barcelona in 2014. We’re wondering if he’s even noticed though considering that’s the fourth time in five calendar years now that Messi has hit 50 goals or more.
The first of his brace today was an emphatic top corner finish.
The second though, wait until you see this touch. If we’re being critical, the ‘keeper probably could’ve done better. This touch though…
And again. Touch with the left, finish with the right.
