Lionel Messi is he from another planet?


Lionel Messi who just broke Gerd Muller's goal scoring record with 86 goals in one calendar year (40-year-old record!) is a super human...it is obvious he will rein for a long time for any footballer to reach the feat he has achieved or surpass his achievements in such a short time. When any opposition is billed to play Messi's Barcelona; the opposition coach will have the headache of planning on how to contain the merciless Messi...the question is always on whether to man-mark him, put two defenders on him or another midfielder to follow him around, any one of this permutations most often than not does not stop the goal machine from scoring. He is nimble, he is skillful, he sees free spaces in a clustered defence, he wriggles through and he knows where the goal post lies....Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi born June 24th, 1987
 
  •  He is Barcelona's all-time top scorer in all official club competitions
  • Messi is the fourth football player to win three Ballons d'Or
  • won three consecutive Ballons d'Or
  • three Champions League trophies
  • He is the first player to score five goals in one match
  •  top-scorer in four successive Champions League campaigns
  •  He set the world record for most goals scored in a season 2011/12 with 73 goals
  • scoring 50 goals in a single La Liga season record
Does Messi belong to this generation?
