I hope he never becomes Ronaldo-like with his free-kicks. Leo aims for the goal, not the wall. Like Juno said: he's more like Maradona, resembling the former Argentina football God's curved shots
@They actual Ronaldo is more like Roberto Carlos he just blast the ball and hoping it does something special, while Messi aim at placing it in one of the corners of the goal, Messi is way better at free than Ronaldo

Lets not say that about Ronaldo, he is good at free kicks, Ronaldo is Ronaldo, power. Messi is placement. You can't hate any of them for that. Messi is smaller and has shorter legs. Ronaldo is taller (longer legs) and has more meat on him AKA more muscle so I would imagine Ronaldo's free kicks to be rockets taking off at light speed while Messis are rockets that land very accurately on Mars (Pardon my weak imagination at the moment ahaha)
More meat in him? Have you seen Messi without shirt? He has actually a lot of muscle even if he's smaller, a skinny/weak guy wouldn't be able to do what he does every weekend
Oh my goodness, Messi is "the total footballer".... He has the dribble, the touch, the skill, the finesse, and now he is adding free kicks to his overwhelming arsenal. What a beautiful goal.... Check out Xavi's goal for spain.... Barcelona players are beast in this eliminatory and friendly matches
Nice finish by Higuain on that second goal. And Messi needs no explanation! Argentina looking good. But their defence still needs work as they will struggle against big opponents!
