In the past, we had soccer players that when they stand over a free kick anywhere close to the opponent's box, there is a 70% chance that it would be a goal. Those guys were the free kick specialists. Talk about Ronaldinho Juninho, Pirlo.

Do we still have free kick specialists in the modern era of football? Who are the free kick specialists now?
 
The truth is that we don't have such players that were traditional free kick specialists anymore. I think that era died with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Some few players of this era that are trying with free kicks are Kieran Trippier. He has scored a few free kicks lately and assisted goals from dead ball situations. Another one is Trent Alexander Arnold of Liverpool. Ward Prowse is also good with free kicks.
 
The free kick specialists I know are Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. They are the best so far and I have not seen anyone close.
C. Ronaldo is not that very good at free kicks. There are more better takers than him. If you are talking about penalties, I can give him that as he is good.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a free kick specialist in his hey days. But I think he has been found out. Messi has never been a free kick specialist. He scored free kicks occasionally when he was at his peak but not that much to be considered a specialist.
