Following the departure of Lionel Messi last summer, Barcelona have not scored a goal from free kicks so far in the 2021/22 season.

In fact, it was the current Paris Saint-Germain striker who scored their last goal from the free kick on 2 May 2021, while up to seven Barcelona players have tried their luck so far this season.

Memphis Depay has grown more than any other player, but in recent months he has not been seen as a starter.

The Barcelona players have fired 17 free kicks directly in all competitions, but they have not been able to convert any of them.

Xavi Hernandez is now looking for a new free kick striker. Memphis got six and Ferran Torres three, with Philippe Coutinho, Jordi Alba and Ousmane Dembele getting two each, while Gerard Pique and Ansu Fati both tried their luck on one occasion.
