The Argentinean maestro has been performing phenomenally lately, and his two goals helped the Catalan giants win the game against Cordoba, leaving Vilanova hail the Ballon d’Or nominee once more.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 is currently the topic under discussion around the footballing world, as the Argentinean star has already cemented his name in the history books, despite only being 25 years old.
The Argentinean star recently managed to break the record set by the German legend, Gerd Muller, who scored 85 goals in a single calendar year and it took a player almost 40 years to break his all-time goal-scoring record.
The Barcelona number 10 was definitely a favourite to achieve this feat as his goal-scoring ability is unmatchable and it is something that takes him an inch above the Portuguese skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, who is often being compared to him.
This season Lionel Messi has outdone each and every player in the history of football, and the only thing left for him to achieve is the FIFA World Cup, something that the star player craves for and would definitely try and win in South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841
will be competing for the ultimate prize in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858.
Messi scored another brace when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 faced Cordoba in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, and the game ended in a 0-2 away victory for the Spanish giants.
As the Argentinean star helped his side win the game, his coach, Tito Vilanova, spoke in his favour and expressed how he is happy and fresh this time round.
“With Messi we agreed that he would play but that coming to a Segunda Division team he knew that he would also have to run like the Cordoba players in order to win.”
“Leo was fresh in training. He is so happy after the concern about his injury has passed, he is enjoying things.”
With the brace he scored against Cordoba, Lionel Messi has moved up the goal-scoring record in a single calendar year, and now he has scored 88 goals in the year 2012.
Barcelona’s win against Cordoba has given them a two away goals advantage, and now the Segunda Division side will be travelling to the Nou Camp in order to try and turn the tie around.
