I don't think it will be touched either because nobody besides Müller has even gotten close to that number. You'd need an almost perfect season to challenge it. Here are the most goals in a year:
Nobody in the modern era has gotten 70, and nobody else in history besides Müller's insane 1972 year has even gotten more than 75.

It's one of those Wilt Chamberlain records. I can't imagine it being topped.

The other one that I don't see being topped soon is the overal contribution record:
Mbappé's productivity is increasing but I'm still not sure he'll challenge that. And I don't see an out and out striker like Haaland (or any other) doing that because they wouldn't have a high enough assist total on top of their goals.
(or got more precisely rated after new tenure)I mean…you even tracked/checked the number of posts I posted yesterday? And you actually called someone else pathetic? Are you a 37 years old manchild? Of course you are
Hope you got high on itOh the irony coming from someone who's doing it right now
Good morning!I mean…you even tracked/checked the number of posts I posted yesterday? And you actually called someone else pathetic? Are you a 37 years old manchild? Of course you are
Anyway, I am glad replying twice to you in quick succession helped you to sleep a lot better.
Just put that manchild on ignore, probably has no friends real life and come into the forum to live in his alternate reality
Hahhaha…Pep + Enrique as compared to SAF, Mou, Ancelotti, Zidane? Enrique is the odd one out of that list, i guess Messi has more than his fair share of shite as compared to CR7 eh?
Stop reporting posts. It's obvious you are prodding posters to get a reaction.
And that means you agree on my point that Messi had more shite managers/cr7 has far more great managers ya? Guess we are in agreementBloody hell, defensive much
I was just stating that Enrique is clearly a brilliant and successful manager and that both players have had their Pirlo, Koeman or Ole manager periods.
Nothing to debate about, just agreeing or disagreeing on that statement, guess it is difficult for some people
!What's funny is that this infamous discussion alwys goes so differently to other player comparisons. You'd never see someone arguing about comfort zones or doing it in multiple leagues when comparing, say, Scholes with Seedorf or Iniesta with Neymar. Why is that?
My theory is that some people want to see Ronaldo ahead, so they compare their careers, identify in which particular areas Messi might be behind and suddenlyndecide that this criterion was the most important all along
I thought the report function was for ad hominem insults, no?! Feel like I used it appropriately.
I doubt he eats it often. Though I've heard he has a fondness for PepsiMessi has his own burger at hard rock cafe in Spain. It's a health monstrosity!
If he's eating this it probably explains why he's walking around the pitch, barely breaking to a run these days
It was hardly an insult. You admitted goading in your post. Double whammy: Abusing the report function and inciting posters.
Hardly an insult?! It's no biggie, obviously, but what would you say the below is, if not insulting?

This is a football forum. Harly a post worthy of a report. This is not an elderly ladies' knitting forum. I suggest you stop goading for reactions if you want to enjoy the forum.
Those records are phenomenal and won't be bettered in our life time. Messi at his peak was simply the most gifted footballer the sport has seen. His unparalleled combination of vision, passing, dribbling, and finishing was truly special and unplayable. It was like molding Iniesta, Xavi and Ronaldo into one footballer.I don't think it will be touched either because nobody besides Müller has even gotten close to that number. You'd need an almost perfect season to challenge it. Here are the most goals in a year:

I appreciate your suggestion. If you've any advice about good knitting forums I'd be grateful.
Here's the thing, a player could have the most perfect record, dominated in every league, etc, people would still find a way to take them down. There's absolutely zero reason to bother trying to find logic in people's criticism because most of them are in bad faith to begin with, especially if it comes to legendary players like Messi.
I struggle to think of any human that’s been as good at their craft as Messi is at football.
Wayne Gretzki, Lebron James/Michael Jordan, Roger Federer, Daniel Day Lewis, Tom Brady, that's a few off the top of my head.
Such a weird passive-aggressive take. Are you 16 or something?99% would place technique, creative above anything else, what are you smoking? Now, the guy thinks only a select few fans (not surprisingly some Ronaldo fans) can understand the new BS called "mental ability" as if he has one, mental ability in terms of jump-shipping when thing start to go wrong and posting cry baby posts on instagram
Comfort zone only became a thing in the Messi Era. And it is used exclusively with Messi. When he retires it probably will fade back into obscurity
Where have they been all these years when people said managers make a huge difference and Messi did not have the same luxury, but noooo, in their world, when Ronaldo's team wins, it is Ronaldo who brought the trophy. But, when he loses, it is his teammates, managers, conspiracy against Ronaldo etc..I mean…you even tracked/checked the number of posts I posted yesterday?

I actually do, but there, the ones messing them up at least they call spade a spade.I suppose you rarely visit the transfer or player performances sections of this forum?

It seems that one of the mods took care of him already. Pretty strange human being
That's the key bit to me. To be the best goalscorer AND the best playmaker at the same time is a little preposterous. I don't see anyone matching his goalscoring peak to begin with. Factor in the fact that he was the best dribbler on the planet and arguably the best playmaker on the planet at the same time and what you had was a peak that might never be touched.
