Lionel Messi believes he was fortunate to score two tremendous free-kicks during Barcelona s win over Espanyol in LaLiga on Saturday.
Just days after being criticised by Brazil great Pele, Messi produced a fine display, scoring twice and setting up another in Barca s 4-0 win.
His two goals were wonderful free-kicks, but the 31-year-old said he needed some luck.
I try to follow a routine a bit, trying to do it the same way so that it goes well again, Messi told Vamos.
Other times I have a lot of free-kicks and I do not put them in. I was lucky enough to get two in a row.
And it s all over. A perfect performance
