Soccer is not usually considered a sport for number crunchers.Despite the soccer world's relative indifferrence to stats,Barcelona's Lionel Messi is being talked as the greatest player of all time after scoring his 86th goal of the calender year this weekend,breaking a 40-year record held by the German striker Gerd 'Torpedo' Muller. Messi has managed to average 1.3 goals per game- more than many entire teams manage,as non-soccer fans might drily note."At times the the consistency can serve to make seem mundane."
Numbers alone can't reveal the magic of Lionel Messi- although the numbers are,quitemagical.
Entering Barcelona's match with Athletico Madrid on sunday,Messi has 88 goals in 68 games this calender year.That's an average of one goal every 4.24 days including the weeks when Messi didn't play a game.oh,and he also has 29 assists.
He still has three games left to add some goals to list:against scond division Cordoba in the Copa del Rey,then Athletico Madrid and Valladolid in the league."i hope to add more to it so that it is harder for the next person to come along and break,"Messi said on sunday night.Thing is,the next person is likely to be him.Every year his stats increase."I don't thing we'll see anyone like him again"said coach Vilanova.He could almost push the bar by one centimeter,making the next record that littel more reachable,competing against himself.
