Messi Breaks Goal Scoring Record

Description:Barcelona forward Lionel Messi set a record for goals scored in a calendar year of 86 when he netted his second in a La Liga game at Real Betis on Sunday (December 9), beating Gerd Mueller's 40-year-old record of 85. The 25-year-old World Player of the Year earlier equalled Mueller's mark when he picked up the ball in a central position in the 16th minute and left the Betis defence standing before sending an angled shot across goal into the bottom right corner.
