Messi Breaks Muller's Record for Total Goals Scored

Lionel Messi added yet another milestone to an already glittering career on Sunday by eclipsing Gerd Muller's record of 85 goals in a calendar year.The German superstar's record has been in place for 40 years, but Messi's brace against Real Betis confirmed the little Argentinian's place in football folklore.The world player of the year equalled the record in style after a sweet left-foot finish polished of a typically stunning dribble. It was Iniesta's deft back-heel that set up Messi's record-breaking goal, which he swept home to preserve Barcelona's 6-point lead over Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga.Messi showed his true class when he refused to be drawn on his incredible achievement during post-match interviews with the world's press. Instead, he insisted that the most important aspect of the match in Seville was the fact that Barcelona took all three points in what was an uncomfortably tight tie for the Catalonian giants.With three matches still to play in Spanish football this year, there is absolutely no reason why Messi can extend that incredible goal-scoring tally yet further - to a level that is likely to remain a world record for another 45 years.
