Lionel Messi 86th goal surpass Gerd Mueller's Record

Lionel Messi broke the 40 year old record of Gerd Mueller's by scoring 86th times in a year last Sunday. Bayern Munich and Germany's Gerd Mueller goal tally was 85.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi scored twice in their match against Real Betis to win 2-1.

"As I have said many times, the record is nice but the important thing is the victory that keeps us on the patch we want to continue on," Messi said. "As I always say, my objectives are on a team level: to win the league, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey again."

Messi has already scored 74 for Barcelona and 12 times for Argentina and there will be three more games left to add on his goals. 

"We won't see another player like (Messi)," Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova said. "Not just because of his ability to score. But also for his ability to pass, play defense, and his understandings of the game. He is a global star that helps us in so many ways."
