According to the Catalan trainer, Messi made the feat look easily as he broke the record previously held by Bayern Munich legend, Gerd Muller. The former German international’s goal tally for one year was 85 goals. After scoring 86 goals, Messi has overtaken
the retired veteran and has cemented his name in history books.

Vilanova expressed his jubilation and voiced that even though he admires all his players, the South American is unique in his ability to impress.
"I am happy with all my players. We have always given our best," he told reporters.
“We are happy that [Messi] helped us with his two goals. He made his record look easy and still has a further three games to continue to help us.
Barca defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique also offered his tribute for the talismanic attacker.
"However, I think you should also remember the team and our defensive solidity. We had to suffer [at Betis], we knew it would not be easy, so it wasn't a coincidence," Pique mused.
"Players are usually valued when they have retired, but Messi is the best player in history even if he has much time left in his career," he praised. "He is a player with no limits, you have to enjoy every day and every minute, you just have to enjoy him
as a football player."
Lionel Messi also holds the record for the highest number of goals scored by a Barcelona player. In addition, the footballer is also responsible for scoring the highest number of goals in one Spanish La Liga season.
