I was watching some goal highlights of both players and it dawned on me that they have never scored a freekick! It is kindof depressing that the two supposed faces of football lack so much to their game. Mbappe is probably the player most would agree is the best in the world but the fact that he is doesn’t bode well for the coming generation.

Why do you think both players have been so abysmal at freekicks? They don’t need to be great but at least score at least one. My goodness

      Do you mean best taker ever or best in the world at the time? I def agree with the second one he was a menace in 2007-10 with free kicks

        Scoring that free kick during the World Cup against Spain 3-2 down required an insane amount of talent to do under that type of pressure. It was Beckham level. That was in 2018. I love Messi but even he flopped hard when put in a similar situation at the 2014 World Cup final.
