is that even possible?

It's supposed to be in 38 games actually not 8, must be a typo.

50 goals and passed 70 goals in a season

Guy is a freak.Nothing less.
50 league goals and 72 goals overall.NTM every single game he sets up a goal scoring opportunity atleast twice.Cant remember the last game he didnt set up a goal scoring chance.
By far the most lethal player the game has ever see.Not the best yet but by far the most lethal.

¤ Most Goals in a single Season (all comps - Club, 65+ goals):
1- Messi (so far,11/12) - 72goals in 58 games.

If his body can sustain this level of play then yes he can

Messi, the perfect scorer

The Argentinean superstar has now scored more goals so far this season than 13 of La Liga’s teams, scored nine goals in his last three games and has bagged twice as many as 49 of the previous “Pitxixis”

Messi has scored none goals in his last three games – his second best run at the Club.

Only six La Liga teams have managed more goals than Messi

Two against Rayo, three against Malaga and four more against Espanyol on Saturday: that’s nine goals in his last three games for Leo Messi - his second best run since he debuted with the first team, only bettered by the 10 goals he scored against Valencia (5-1, 4 goals), Atletico Madrid(1-2, 1 goal) and Bayer Leverkusen (7-1, 5 goals).

More than 13 teams have managed

Those nine have taken him from 41 to 50 goals over the last week and that’s a figure that 13 of the La Liga teams haven’t managed. The league’s lowest scores, Racing have scored just 26, nearly half of Messi’s haul and only six other teams have managed more than him: Madrid (117), Valencia (59), Malaga (53), Bilbao (52), Rayo Vallecano (52) and Llevant (51). Anotehr hat trick this coming weekend could even see Messi overhaul these last three teams if they all fail to score.

Leader in Europe too

Compared with teams in the main European leagues, Messi 50 goals from 36 games means he’s outscored 15 French teams in La Ligue (over 35 games), 14 of the Premier League’s teams(after 37 games), 13 Bundesliga outfits (after completing their 34 games) and 12 of the Serie A teams in Italy. He is the goal king!



More than twice the goals of 49 Pitxitxis

Messi’s 50 league goals are more than twice as many as 49 of the competition’s previous leading goalscorers, who include Zarra (19 goals in season 1944/45 and 24 in 1945/46), Di Stéfano (24 goals in 1955/56), Puskas (20 goals in 1963/64), Quini (20 goals in 1973/74, 18 in 1975/76, 24 in 1979/80 and 20 in 1980/81), Hugo Sánchez (19 goals in 1984/85 and 22 in 1985/86), Raúl González (25 goals in 1998/99 and 24 in 2000/01) and Ronaldo (24 goals in 2003/04).

His average of 1,39 goals a game is the fourth highest amongst Pitxitxis, only bettered by ‘Bata’ (1,59 goals in 1930/31, with 27 goals in 17 games), Lángara (1,44 goals in 1933/34, with 26 goals in 18 games) and Zarra (1,42 goals in 1946/47, with 34 goals in 24 games) and the same as the ex- Barça goalscorer Martín (1,39 goals in 1942/43, with 32 goals in 23 games).

Find that interesting though not true when I type it up on Google...

Amazing. He is truly the greatest of all time.

By the way, you posted a gif a while ago that showed one of Messi's runs...A really really long run from one end to the other...but he got fouled at the end. Can you re-post that?

Also, do you know which other games Messi did those long runs, can you please post or tell me which games?

there are so many i dont remember all you can find his old runs here





some of 2010-11 runs


some 2009 runs

Thanks. I will check these out. I want to make a compilation video of the longest runs.

From today's match:

at least we can say nobody in history did so many runs starting from his own half. there are 1-2 long runs of some great players but messi has around 100 already. so messi has something that others didnt have
