Messi has just scored 4 against Espanyol and has become the first player in the history of football to score more than 70 goals in a season!!! Unbelievable!!! :salute

72 and counting - Messi (2012)
70 - Archie Stark (1925)
67 - Gerd Muller (1973)

None of the 72 scored with his hands either which makes him the best Argentinian player ever.
