Lionel Messi has become the footballer to score the most goals in a calendar year .Messi attained the feat after he led Barcelona to a 2-1 win over Betis in their Liga clash at Estadio Benito Villamarin in Seville yesterday. The Argentine etched his name in football history with his 85th and 86th goals for the club and country in 2012, breaking the 40-year-old record of 85 set by Gerd Muller in 1972, while he also surpassed Cesar Rodriguez as the all-time highest league goalscorer for the Blaugrana with his 192nd Liga goal. Messi`s brace put Barcelona two goals up after 25 minutes, but it was far from plain sailing for the Catalans, who were given a thorough examination by a spirited home side at Seville that pulled a goal back through Ruben Castro shortly before the break.
