Excluding penalties, the Argentine has attempted 45 shots but none of them has resulted in goal.
Leo Messi has scored 4 goals in the 2020-2021 campaign but all of them have been penalties.
Here are the key facts behind the captain’s sudden drought, as per WhoScored:
- Messi has been without an open-play goal for 9 full games which is 810 minutes which is 13,5 hours.
- He has managed 45 shots during this run, averaging 5 shots per game.
- Half of these shots (23, to be precise) have reached the target.
- So far this season, Leo attempted the most shots in the 1-1 Alaves draw: 10 with 5 on target.
- As things stand, Messi’s last goal from an open play dates back to the 5-0 Alaves thrashing on July 19 – almost 4 months ago.
