Lionel Messi is, without a doubt, the greatest goalscorer of his generation. Proof? With 86 goals in all of 2012, Messi breaks Gerd Muller’s 40-year old record of 85 goals in a calendar year set back in 1972 while playing for Bayern München and Germany.
With three games left for him in 2012, Messi has a chance at expanding that tally and further cementing his place in soccer history.
