A football miracle! Messi scored 91 goals and provided 24 assists in 69 matches in 2012, a record unbeaten for 13 years.

Time flies like an arrow, and soon 2025 will bid us farewell! Football is always a stage where history is revisited and renewed, and any miraculous feat is forever remembered by media and fans alike. On December 22, 2012, Messi scored his 91st goal of the year, breaking the calendar year scoring record—a magical record that has stood for 13 years.

In my opinion, the 91 goals in a single year is an unprecedented and almost unrepeatable extraordinary record!!!

On December 22, 2012, were you watching the match? Barcelona defeated Valladolid 3-1, with Messi scoring his 91st goal of 2012. With 91 goals in 69 games, he surpassed the German legend Gerd Müller by 6 goals, setting a new record for goals scored in a calendar year in football history. Messi’s greatness is not just about goals; in those 69 matches, besides 91 goals, he also provided 24 assists. That means Messi was directly involved in 115 goals in 2012 alone. What is that? That’s the mark of a true football king!

Messi’s 69 matches and 91 goals in 2012 were distributed as follows:13 goals in the Champions League, 59 in La Liga, 5 in the Copa del Rey, 2 in the Spanish Super Cup, 5 in World Cup qualifiers, and 7 in international friendlies..

What defines a football king? It’s not just calling yourself the GOAT, but being the historical ruler of the sport—top in passing, shooting, dribbling, the best playmaker, top scorer, most dribbles, most assists, MVP in major tournaments, and winner of numerous championships!

The football king—Messi!
