The year 2012 saw Messi break several long-standing records, becoming the top goalscorer in Barcelona’s history at 24 years old
He scored four goals in a single match on two separate occasions – league fixtures against Valencia and Espanyol.
He scored five times in a single match in Champions League last 16-round match against Bayer Leverkusen.
He finished the league season as the top goalscorer, once again, with the unprecedented 50 goals in 37 appearances, a La Liga record.
Messi scored 73 goals in 60 appearances in all competitions in 2012, making him the single-season top scorer in the history of European club football.
He surpassed César RodrÃguez’s record of 190 league goals, becoming Barcelona’s all-time top scorer in La Liga.
By the end of 2012, Messi had 91 goals in all competitions for Barcelona and Argentina, setting a Guinness World Record for most goals scored in a calendar year.
He topped off his fantastic year by becoming the first player in history to win the Ballon d’Or four times.
