#3 Christian Eriksen - 26 goals
Christian Eriksen was the creative mastermind of Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham Hotspur side that made it to the final of the 2018-19 Champions League. The Danish international has the technical ability to match his vision. Almost everything good that Spurs came up with in attack during that time went through him.
Alongside Harry Kane, Lucas Moura and Dele Alli, Eriksen played some of the best football of his career in the Premier League. He has since joined Inter Milan but hasn't been able to hit the heights of his Tottenham Hotspur days in Italy.
Eriksen is renowned for his ability to score wonderful goals from range. He was in fact nicknamed 'Golazo' for his incredible ability to score stunning goals from far out. Eriksen has scored a whopping 26 goals from outside the box since the 2013-14 season.
#2 Hakan Calhanoglu - 26 goals
Hakan Calhanoglu is among a select few to have crossed the Milan divide. He left AC Milan last summer to join the Nerazzurri and has been in good form so far this term. The Turkish international has always been known for his technical abilities.
In addition to being a quick-thinking attacking midfielder with exceptional passing abilities, Calhanoglu is also a set-piece specialist. His ability to generate power, pace and bend on a deadball is second to none.
Calhanoglu's striking ability from distance has received a lot of praise over the years. He is one of the best in the business when it comes to shooting from range. The 27-year-old has scored 26 goals from outside the box since the 2013-14 season.
#1 Lionel Messi - 61 goals
How do you identify a generational talent? It's easy to do so here. Lionel Messi has more than twice the number of goals from outside the box as Hakan Calhanoglu does. It's not even a competition.
Lionel Messi is one of the greatest footballers of all time and we're all well aware of the magic he can produce with the ball at his feet. One of the best dribblers and finishers of all time, Messi's extremely high conversion rate from range comes as no surprise.
He has scored a whopping 61 goals from outside the box since the 2013-14 season. Messi is the best free-kick taker in the world right now and we are so accustomed to seeing his signature curling strikes from just outside the box.
