For anybody struggling with this: Make sure Messi's whole body is covering the ball, you can change this by moving the camera. Hold lb and tab b. Took me a few attempts but it did work.

Same as darkavenger786 and Mution, this Just will not unlock for me.

EDIT***
Trust it to unlock on the first try after posting this.
Is it buggy? I did nothing different to previous attempts.
Keep trying I guess.

I believe this unlocks when scoring without the ball rolling or touching the ground... Can anyone clarify? I did at least 15 where I put minimal power and no achievement, yet when I put more power and it flew in rather than rolled in, popped straight away

Hope this helps some people

I can confirm it unlocked for me when taking a free kick that didn’t touch the ground. The rest that bounced or rolled in didn’t unlock it.
The video shows it unlocking with Messi’s left foot, I remember fifa 17 only unlocked when u use the weak foot

I tried so many times with Messi and Ronaldo, never popped. I tried today with Quaresma (Besiktas) two times and popped... I put in settings 0 to "shoot mistakes" for my team. And during the replay i saw my ball dont touch the ground and dont turn... Hope this helps some people

It popped to me after few days of trying when Messi shot with his right foot by mistake. I was surprised.

So lucky i unlocked this after my 2nd try, the free kick spot located center outside the box and i move messi to a bit left side of the ball, then press LB with 1/4 power, the achievement just popped (moving the wall and keeper away with 2nd controller)

The other solution has a video where it unlocks after bouncing so that can not void it. It must be buggy. Time to give it a go.

Edit: got it first time, but unlocked a min late. +1

It may help to add curl to the shot. Do everything exactly like in the video, with enough power to hit the net. In addition, when you start pressing LB+B and doing the run-up, hold LEFT on the LS. This adds curl with the left foot shot, which I believe gives a higher chance of this popping that doing LB+B by itself. I tried multiple times then got it first time when successfully adding curl. It makes sense too, as that implies using the outside of the foot more. Also it may help setting the user shot error to 0 in the menus.

I just got it and it never left the floor,just rolled in pretty much with hardly any pace so the thing about having to not touch the ground is wrong

It's NOT just L1 + B, you HAVE to choose a direction (diagonal top-right or top-left). Quaresma (Beşiktaş/Portugal) is actually know for these kind of shots, even though I used Messi. This is actually a simple achievement, but many people seems to not know what a trivela is.

Just did this today. Only way it worked was getting the ball to curve up and left once I kicked it.

I finally got this to pop with Quaresma. The achievement popped after it curled into the left-hand corner of the goal.

As others have said I got this to pop with Messi on his right foot, not his left.

DO NOT use LB for a driven free kick.

I moved Ronaldo into position all the way to the right of the ball. Moved the wall and keeper with another controller. Then shot using only up and right curve without holding LB. It was with his stronger foot. Unlocked first time doing this after trying for ages with driven free kicks.

What footy said. No LB. Up and right curve.

Spent nearly an hour on this doing every tactic stated above and nothing. Giving up for now. When not using LB he goes for inside of the boot every time so that tip doesn't seem to work for me.

I almost gave up until I found this one video that actually explains it. Line up almost at the right edge of the free kick box with Ronaldo. Move way way way to the right pre free kick. Hold down LB, and shot button for 2.5 bars. Immediately press left stick up and to the right (45 degrees) . My ball bounced along the ground when the achievement popped. Key is holding down LB and being way far to the right for free kick

Messi did shoot with the right foot when I got it! But I did as suggested! 3rd goal he did and only time he did use the right foot I got it.

Just did it with the exact same suggestion as the video.

To be exact: Messi shot with his left foot, ball didn’t touch the ground, keeper was to the right but still in his goal, and it was a curve ball kept holding up left a bit with left stick after shooting with LB + B with decent power.

so this achievement seems to be very glitchy or just very very picky about how you actually do this achievement

a text guide is pretty much useless so i made a video guide instead :D enjoy it lads and good luck

For those looking for a text description instead of a video:

P1 is going for achievement, P2 is the opposite team. Can be done online or locally with 2 controllers. I did this by myself with two controllers on a local game, I also turned off injuries and bookings and set time to 20 minutes a half so I could keep retrying.

1. P1 choose Barcelona, P2 choose anyone else.

2. Get P1 with the ball at the edge of the penalty box, kind of centrally located.

3. P2 has to foul P1, slide tackle from behind works pretty well.

4. P2 use RT (or LT) to move the wall right (or left) so it is away from the goal.

5. P2 presses the view (back) button to control the keeper, use the left stick to move the keeper away from the goal, you have to hold the stick otherwise the keeper will run back into the goal.

6. P1 needs to use the right stick to move Messi into a position right behind the ball, so he is directly facing the goal.

7. P1 needs to press LB+B to shoot. If he doesn't score with the outside of the foot, restart from step 2. Some guides say he has to kick with his left foot, but I am pretty sure he kicked with his right foot when I got my achievement. Put a little power into the shot, but not too much that it goes over. I found if I didn't kick it hard enough that the ball would swing wildly and usually miss the goal.

*Glitched* - There have been reports that this trophy is not unlocking for some people despite scoring from the correct shot/animation using the outside of the foot. The reason for this is not known, although using a different team/player from your original void attempt may pop the trophy. Ronaldo and Messi are ideal players to attempt this.

To perform this type of freekick, you need to have the free kick taker stand on the side of the ball to which his preferred foot is, which is essentially the unnatural position to take a shot. So a right-footed player stands to the right of the ball, left-footed stands to the left. To adjust your player position move either left or right. If you are unsure if a player is left or right footed, you can check when changing the free kick taker as they will have an “R” or “L” next to their name.

To score this free kick in a natural game can prove difficult, therefore it’s recommended to either use a second controller or player with a friend/boosting partner via Friendlies Seasons. Having the ability to control your opponent/play with a friend also means you can select and pull out players from the wall, therefore the likelihood of your shot reaching the goal and scoring is greatly increased. If you are playing locally with two controllers, then you can also bring out the GK as shown in the video below. Once those favourable conditions are set up, you need only shoot by pressing and as well as holding directly left or right (whichever side you are standing to the ball, aim that way), though it's likely it will take several attempts for the trophy to actually pop regardless if scoring correctly. For a visual reference of what this shot looks like, refer to the video below.

It's easiest to do if you have a second gamepad or with a friend.
Remove the wall, remove the goalkeeper (switch by pressing the touchpad)

The strike must be done with L1+ plus a twist with the left stick!

As soon as I tried to score with all the players, including Messi, as in the video, they didn’t give anything. The trophy is buggy(

You don’t have to remove the goalkeeper) I did it with a friend, he just removed the wall (I did it with Messi)

It still didn’t work out when scoring against Messi.
I took Real Madrid (Ronaldo), it worked the third time.
And by default the player is not centered on the ball.
Use the right stick to position the player in the center so that the shot on goal is direct.
Well and then L1+ at the moment of impact, use the right stick to twist
Here is my own video >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP-e8RbQTus
Some write that you also need to kick with a certain leg. In this case he beat, right

20+ unsuccessful attempts by Messi/Ronaldo from the working foot. As a result, I got the trophy by hitting Messi with the right hand, without twisting with the left stick (only L1+O).
