The only games he failed to scored a goal was Sevilla + Granada + Celta de Vigo + Valencia
He is currently well on his way of equaling Ronaldo's scoring 1 goal against each La Liga team should he score against these teams on the return match, if anything Messi has the chance to achieve scoring two goals against each team.

Also 90 goals tonight

that's just wrong

I meant 2 goals each in every of those games sorry if I worded it wrong xD

Renewed until 2018 with a release clause of 250 milion.
Messi will be cule until he is 31.

Messi outscored Liverpool in 2012

Behold the World Record, which will last at least, to next year.

Actually,

I think FIFA said they never recorded Godfrey's goals so they don't exist

Feel sorry for the guy though, he died in a plane crash with the rest of his compatriots. R.I.P.

Rodrigo Messi (brother): "Leo asked each year a ball for his birthday. When we gave him something else, he got a bit angry." [ff]


lol

Heartiest congratulations to Lionel Messi for winning the Ballon D'or for an unprecedented 4th time. Even the sky is not the limit for this little genius.

Pep Guardiola said it best when he said that one can only feel sorry for anyone who tries to compete with the Argentine wizard.

We are perhaps indeed looking at the greatest footballer of all time. A world cup victory in 2014 would eliminate every last remaining argument against that statement.

Well deserved. Can't say anything else. Not enough superlatives to describe him.

that guy seems promising...

As the Catalan commentator says, i més i més i més...

I disagree JD. Not me, but if he won a WC, someone will ask for 2 like Maradona or better yet 3 like Pele (ignoring the fact he only really contributed heavily in 2).

Correction: *any last sensible remaining argument against that statement.

Maradona won one world cup, no?

Anyway, Messi won't win world cup 2014, Argentina isn't good enough.

Yes your right, he won 1, my mistake.

Kid looks like he has some promise.

Diego won one World Cup in 1986.

Unfortunately I have to agree, we won't win 2014.

We have the best attackers in the world, in fact too many, some of which whom are unheard of in Europe.
We have a very acceptable midfield.
Our defence however is nowhere near what a World Cup winning team should look like. To add insult to injury, we have no top young players coming from the ranks and our defence is old and by 2014 even older.

Simply put, we have too many players in the some positions and no players in the other positions.

No top young players? Definitely have to disagree, we have talented players coming up in almost every defensive position (bar left-back, a problem since Sorin really). Not saying they'll be ready in a years' time but there are talents coming up.

Still don't see us winning on 2014, Spain is too dominant (only scenario I see them losing is a somewhat probably Iniesta injury), and we'll play every game with the added pressure from the Brazilian public, but a final would be enough to cement Messi as a goat.
