Becoming a Legend
In 2012, Messi cemented his place in Barcelona’s history books by achieving remarkable feats. He was the first player ever to score five goals in a Champions League game, but he also surpassed FC Barcelona’s all-time leading goalscorer with his 233rd club goal.
If becoming a legendary figure for the club wasn’t sufficient, Messi went on to score an astounding 92 goals in 2012, setting a new record for the most goals scored in a calendar year. Furthermore, he clinched his fourth Ballon d’Or, adding yet another record to his illustrious career.
