Between the two techniques, he's not wrong. One uses placement and one knuckleball. Didn't Ronaldo shoot over 100 free kicks for Portugal a few years back without even getting it on target? 1 goal from 100 FK's at Juve too. He takes them ALL.

When did scoring free kicks become pure luck ??? It’s okay to rate Messi over CR7 but atleast be fair
