While Cristiano Ronaldo struggles with free kicks, his rival, Lionel Messi, is yet to solve perhaps his sole imperfection, that of penalties. Another one missed this weekend means that only Alvaro Negredo has failed to score as many from the spot as Messi in the last 10 seasons.

There was better luck for Atletico Madrid stars Fernando Torres and Angel Correa, who made a huge impression off the bench against Eibar. . This posts are taken from the original authorized page. Authorized by the original author.
