Omar Marmoush Falls Short of Breaking Messi's After Latest Match

Omar Marmoush's attempt to break Lionel Messi's record of scoring from free kicks in successive matches was stopped in Eintracht Frankfurt's 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga's 11th round. Marmoush, who had scored three free-kick goals in three successive games, including matches against Bochum, Slavia Prague, and Stuttgart, was not able to increase his count in this match.

His remarkable streak had made him the first player since Messi to achieve such an achievement, with the Argentine superstar having last done so in the 2018-2019 season. Despite the setback, Marmoush continues to be one of the standout performers in the Bundesliga, having contributed 14 goals and 10 assists in 17 appearances across all competitions this season, making him one of the top contributors in Europe’s top five leagues.

Marmoush's form is still outstanding, making him one of the most entertaining players in European football, even though he was unable to improve his free-kick record.
