LIONEL Messi broke the 39-year record for most goals in a single season in a major European league, scoring for the 68th time with a hat- trick on Wednesday to eclipse former Bayern Munich striker Gerd Mueller.
WOW, these Messi stats are really putting S.A strikers to shame, our top four goal scorers combined goals this season don't even match that record... What a shame!!!!! Report Abuse

Ag...Messi oes indeed score a lot of goals....but when he has to score in crucial games like the 2 games against Barcelona...really...he is a flop. Remember 2010 World Cup, he failed to help Argentina win the world cup in SA.
So, he does score a lot of goals(whenever it suits him), but we can't at this stage call him the BEST PLAYER of the game of soccer, like some European commentators are already suggesting.
He still has to win the world cup for Argentina 3+ times and win EUFA champions league a couple of times before we give him the RESPECT and HONOUR.
i dnt think this planet will produce another star lyk Messi for the next 200 years. Report Abuse

you sound jelas hey, messi reali plays good footbal, there is no enough support from national squad, look at spain there is support from players, look at xabi alonso and xabi and iniesta in the middle, plus villa pedro and silva, thye realy support each ada, teves is selfish, higuan aguerro and messi support each other on national squad, di maria is also selfish, so really i believe if argentina can work togeda they can be strong again, look at CR7 portugal doesnt go far in the world cup but they got ronaldo, nani contrao, cavalho, best players, mereiles doni
watch youtube and check messi since he was 10 years youll see the meaning of best player in the world Report Abuse

Both Messi and Ronaldo having missed out of the Champions League, I wonder who will emerge as the best player, obviously its between the two, one with a league medal and the other with this record, two games to go, the golden boot is still hanging in the balance, will it be Spiderman or Superman...
