Lionel Messi scored his 600th goal for Barcelona in
some style as the Camp Nou legend netted an absolutely stunning
Champions League free-kick against Liverpool.
Messi headed into
Wednesday night’s semi-final first leg having netted his 598th club goal
for Barca at the weekend against Levante, sealing the LaLiga title in
the process.
Luis Suarez put Barca ahead in a frenetic first half
at Camp Nou, while Messi scored a fortunate tap-in after the break
after Suarez had hit the bar from close range.
Standing over a
dead ball 35 yards out, and with Alisson Becker to beat, Messi duly
curled the ball into the top right-hand corner of the Liverpool
goalkeeper’s net to leave the Camp Nou crowd stunned.
Even Jurgen
Klopp appeared to be laughing on the touchline at the sheer brilliance
of the goal, with Messi adding yet another peach of an effort to a long
list of goals from free-kicks this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo also scored the 600th goal of his storied club career in a 1-1 draw away to Inter in Serie A on Saturday.
