Lionel Andres Messi ends 2012 with 91 goals


Leo Messi’s scoring record was one of the talking points of Barça’s win at the José Zorrilla (1-3) against Valladolid. But the team has also set records for the most wins and goals in a calendar year.

Barça’s spectacular start to the season continues. They have a total of 49 points from a possible 51, from 16 wins and 1 draw with an average of 3.35 goals scored per game.

With two games yet to play before the halfway stage, Barça have already secured the honorary ‘winter’ title for the nineteenth time.

FC Barcelona have made 2012 their record breaking year. They have set Liga records for the most wins (49) and the most goals (175).

Messi has set the world record for a goals in a single calendar year, with a grand total of 91, beating the previous all-time best set in 1972 by Germany and Bayern’s Gert Müller, who got 85. The Argentinian got 79 goals for Barça and another 12 for his national team.

Saturday (22/12/2012) was the first time in this edition of La Liga that Leo Messi has got one goal and one goal only. That continues his remarkable record of 26 goals in 17 games so far.

The Argentinian striker has scored in seven consecutive Liga matches. That means he is one away from equalling his personal best of eight in a row.
