Barcelona’s messiah has finetuned his skills at Camp Nou and is enjoying his best season ever in a Blaugrana
shirt.
He is enjoying a rich vein of form and his double against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander was enough for him to overtake Ladislao Kubala’s scoring record for Barcelona. The pint-sized attacker managed to overtake the club legend in two less seasons, though, he took 25
more games.
This record breaking feat coincides with the best scoring form of his career. In seven La Liga games, he has hit the back of the net on 10 occasions, while also providing 5 assists.

With his goalscoring exploits, he is leading the Pichichi race as his tally, thus far, is well ahead of his returns in previous years. As it stands, his numbers are exactly twice what he had achieved in 2008/09 and 2009/10 seasons, where he had managed eight
strikes at this stage of the campaign.
Messi boasts devastating scoring average. Given his prolific record in recent years, it is safe to bet that he will score at least once per game in the remaining fixtures.
At the moment, he has a stunning average of 1.33 goals per game, an improvement over his statistics in recent years. Leo closed the 2010/11 campaign with 53 goals in 55 games, at an average of 0.96 goals per game.
It was a marked improvement over his displays in the 2009/10 season, where he had 47 goals to show from his 53 competitive appearances – an average goal per game of 0.89.
The Rosario-born player has not only improved as the focal point of Barcelona’s attack, but his ability to distribute play and get his teammates in the mix has improved, too.
With time he is effectively showing his pedigree as the best. He has been breaking records since his debut, and at 24 years of age, the better part of his career is frighteningly ahead of him.
