Lionel Messi wowed the sports world with a stunning free-kick goal

Lionel Messi is too good at soccer. It’s almost silly at this point.

The Barcelona star scored two goals in the first leg of Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League semifinal against Liverpool, putting the Spanish club at the doorstep of June’s final in Madrid.

But it was Messi’s second goal of the match that sent the sports world into a frenzy. With Barcelona already up by two goals, Messi finished a stunning free kick from 30 yards out for his 600th club goal.

Goals don’t get much better than this — Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker didn’t stand a chance at this Messi shot.

That’s how you score your 600th goal.

The effort had soccer fans everywhere applauding Messi.

Barcelona would win, 3-0.
