After Messi's free kick in Miami, Pep Guardiola chose the best free kick shooter in the world, it's not Messi

Lionel Messi's true goal at the last minute revolutionized the world. Everywhere on the planet saw the free kick he scored for Inter Miami's 2-1 victory in his debut against Cruz Azul and also that of his team, which took the first three points in group J of the Leagues Cup.

Despite being a specialist in this type of shot with the ball still, Josep Guardiola, who trained the Argentine star for many years at FC Barcelona and where they formed one of the best teams in history, turned his back on Leo and did not choose him as the best free kick taker today.

“James Ward-Prowse is the best shooter I have ever seen or is in the world right now. There is no one who earns better than him. And because he's so good at it, we forget about the quality that he has as a player. But as a shooter from set pieces, from corners and free kicks, he is exceptional. And people pay more attention to that”, Pep had assured at a press conference some time ago.

The number of goals Ward-Prowse has from free kicks

The 28-year-old iconic Southampton leader has 17 goals from set pieces. Coincidentally, the only one who surpasses him in the Premier League is the president of Inter Miami, David Beckham, who has 18 goals. In any case, the current player still has a long career ahead of him and it is very certain that he will end up passing it on to the president.
