Messi beat another big record, surpassing Gerd Müller. Sokker.ru blogger Semenychch recalled the most powerful achievements of the Argentine football genius.

Most goals for one club in the top 5 European leagues

The goal against Real Sociedad was a milestone for Lionel Messi. From now on, the Argentine - by the number of goals in one of the five leading championships of the Old World in the shirt of one club. Leo scored 366 times in the Example for Barcelona, ​​which took 401 matches. The previous owner of the achievement, Gerd Müller, scored 365 goals for Bayern in 427 matches of the German championship. Deposed!

Top scorer in Spanish league history

Those same 366 goals are enough for Lionel to feel comfortable at the top of the La Liga scoring list of all time. Messi's average performance in the Example is 0.91 goals per game, his eternal rival Ronaldo has a higher figure - 1.04 goals, but in absolute numbers the Portuguese is significantly inferior: he has "only" 289 goals scored in the Spanish Championship. Messi's achievement seems "eternal".

Most goals in one La Liga season and in a calendar year

Let's combine these two achievements into one, especially since the segments of intense goal-scoring in the 2011/2012 season and the calendar year 2012 overlap each other. So, in one full-fledged Spanish campaign, Lionel scored 50 goals, 10 of them from the penalty spot. Paradoxically, the 2011/2012 championship, despite the phenomenal performance of the Argentinean, remained with Real Madrid, from which Barcelona was 9 points behind. And in 2012, Messi scored 59 goals in the Example in a calendar year. Fantastic!

Winner of five Golden Balls. Along with Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano turned out to be a revanchist and managed to win back, although he was inferior to Lionel 1:4 and 3:5 in the number of Golden Balls, but now the score is equal. However, let this record to date be divided between two the best players modernity, it cannot be ignored. Five Golden Balls. You can imagine. No not like this. Five. Golden. balls. Will there be another football player in our century who can repeat the great achievement of the phenomena of our time?

Biggest hitting streak in La Liga

In the 2012/2013 season, Messi made a real extravaganza. From the 11th to the 34th round, in 21 matches in a row, Lionel did not leave the field without a goal scored. Crushed opponents ruthlessly, scored 33 goals in this streak, from November to May was different in each La Liga match. By the way, if we count only field goals scored, this is Messi's most productive campaign in La Liga: in the previous season there were 40 field goals (plus 10 from penalties), in 2012/13 - 42 (plus 4 from penalties).

Record holder for the number of hat-tricks in the Champions League. Along with Ronaldo

And here Ronaldo overtook Messi through strong-willed efforts, but the achievement still remains brilliant. In seven matches European tournament Lionel scored three or more goals he is the only one who managed to score five times in one playoff match. Here is a list of the victims of the Argentine in full force: Arsenal (2010, 4 goals), Victoria Plzen (2011, 3 goals), Bayer (2012, 5 goals), Ajax (2013, 3 goals) ), APOEL (2014, 3 goals), Celtic (2016, 3 goals), Manchester City (2016, 3 goals).

The best sniper in the history of Barcelona and the Argentina national team

Lionel Messi is the most productive player of all time for the two main and only teams in his life - Barcelona and the Argentina national team. For the Catalan club, Leo scored 530 official goals(564 if friendly competitions are counted). In second place in the historical list of Barca scorers is Cesar, who scored his 232 goals in the middle of the 20th century. Colossal superiority! As for the Argentina national team, here Lionel is relatively recently ahead of Gabriel Batistuta. Messi has 61 goals, Batigol has 54 left.

Most Valuable Player in El Clasico

And how to ignore the participation of Lionel in the greatest confrontation in world football. Messi has already scored 25 goals against Real Madrid - he and . Di Stefano and Ronaldo are behind the record holder with 18 and 17 goals respectively.

Guinness World Record holder for most goals in a year

Messi is the official holder of the Guinness World Record for most goals scored in a calendar year. In 2012, in all official matches, Lionel scored 91 times. Matches for Barcelona were considered in all tournaments, excluding friendly ones - there were 5 more goals, as well as goals scored in the Argentine national team shirt. Incredible numbers, and the funny thing is that after FIFA and UEFA confirmed the achievement and recommended the compilers of the Guinness Book of Records to make an appropriate entry in the annals of human accomplishments, the Zambian Football Federation rebelled. According to them, in 1972, forward Godfrey Chitalu (whose name became known to the world thanks to this statement) scored 107 goals, and the record belongs to him. However, as evidence, the Zambians had only a piece of tree bark with 107 notches. So…

furthest goal

The goal scored by goalkeeper A. Begovic is recognized as the furthest in history. In 2013, the Bosnian goalkeeper, then playing for Stoke City, decided to shoot at the Southampton goal from his own box. The defenders of the "saints" did not run to intercept the ball and relied on their goalkeeper Boruc, but he went too far out of the goal and the ball, hitting the ground, flew over the last Southampton player, ending up in the net.

The distance from which Begovic hit the opponent's goal was 91.9 m, which was a new record. It is noteworthy that the Bosnian scored at 13 seconds of the game, which makes his goal also one of the fastest in the Premier League.

Farthest Headed Goal

In September 2011, in a match between the Norwegian teams Odd Grenland and Tromsø, the distance record for goals scored by a header was set. The new record holder was Odda midfielder Jone Samuelsson, who hit the Tromsø goal with a header from a distance of exactly 57.32 meters.

The incident happened during injury time. Tromso, hoping to save themselves from defeat, went to the final assault with the score 2:1 in favor of the opponent and the whole team, including the goalkeeper, was in the Odda half of the field. After a corner kick, the Odda players kicked the ball away from their goal, but the Tromso defender picked up the ball and tried to return it to the opponent's penalty area again. However, Samuelson's head was in the way of the ball, hitting which the projectile flew into the empty net of the attacking team. According to the record holder himself, at that moment he did not think about how to score a goal and everything turned out completely by accident.

The strongest punch in the world

The Brazilian Hulk, speaking for Zenit, repeatedly upset the rivals of the St. Petersburg team with his cannon strikes. It is he who holds the world record for the force of impact. The Brazilian striker set his achievement in the fall of 2011, when he played for Porto. In the Champions League match against Shakhtar, the striker volunteered to take a free kick and from a set piece he sent the ball into the net with a cannon shot. The speed of the ball at the moment of flight reached 214 km/h. Now Hulk continues to demonstrate his cannon strikes in the Chinese Championship, playing in the Shanghai SIPG.

The fastest removal

In 2017, in the Australian Championship, the footballer managed to get a red card even before entering the field. The record holder was Tim Cahill, who recently played for Melbourne City.

In City's match against Melbourne Victory, Thiem was preparing to come on as a substitute with the score 1-0 in favor of his team. When Cahhill had already finished the warm-up, Victory carried out an attack and scored a goal, but during the goal, the Australian linesman recorded an offside position. However, the main referee ignored the decision of his assistant and counted the ball, which caused an extremely negative reaction from Cahill. The football player urged the referee to pay attention to the stadium screen and watch a replay of the episode, but the referee refused. Tim aloud called the referee's act "disgusting", adding an obscene expression to this, for which he immediately received a red card without entering the field.

fastest goal

The title of the author of the fastest goal belongs to the Uruguayan Ricardo Oliveira. In the match against Soriano, the striker hit the ball into the net 2.8 seconds after the starting whistle. When the ball was thrown from the center of the field, the partner passed to Oliveira and he threw the goalkeeper from the center line. It is worth noting that the Soriano goalkeeper had not even managed to take his place in the goal frame by that time.

Among the goals scored in the Champions League, the fastest was the goal of the former Bayern striker Makay, who in 2007 needed only 11 seconds to upset Real Madrid.

At the world championships, a similar record belongs to Hakan Shukur. The striker of the Turkish national team in 2002 scored a goal in a match with South Korea, and for this it took him only 11 seconds of the game.

Fastest goal since coming off the bench

At the start of his career, Niklas Bendtner was considered the hope of the London Arsenal, but the Dane never managed to turn into the leader of the Gunners. Despite this, the Danish striker managed to leave a mark in the history of the team, becoming the author of the fast ball after being replaced among the top 5 leagues in Europe.

Niklas scored his famous goal in 2007, when the Gunners met with Tottenham. In the match of irreconcilable rivals, Bendtner came on as a substitute, and already 6 seconds after appearing on the field, the Dane successfully closed the canopy from a corner.

135 goals from the goalkeeper

The famous Brazilian goalkeeper Ceni Po can give odds to some attackers. During his career, Rogerio scored 135 times, which many forwards cannot achieve. The Brazilian scored most of his goals from the penalty spot, but he often took on free kicks as well.

Rogerio spent his entire career in his native Sao Paulo, in which he scored all his goals. Now legendary goalkeeper is one of the top ten scorers in the history of the club, and in the matches played, he holds an absolute record (1238 games).


91 goals per calendar year

Leo Messi has set a huge amount in his life, many of which will be almost very difficult to surpass. One of the most famous records the Argentine has become a record for the number of goals in a calendar year. In 2012, Leo upset his opponents 91 times, breaking the long-term record of the German scorer G. Müller. For such an achievement, Messi took 66 matches.

It is worth noting that the Zambian Football Federation does not recognize the record of the Argentinean. According to African football officials, the scoring record belongs to striker Godfrey Chital, who played for Zambian clubs in the 70s and 80s of the last century. It is believed that in 1972 the Zambian scored 107 goals and his record has not yet been broken.

The loudest fans in the world

An unusual event occurred in the 2017/18 Champions League season. Forward Timo Werner, who plays for Leipzig, could not finish the away match with Besiktas to the end and asked for a replacement. After the game, the striker explained that he could not stand the noise load that was at the stadium of the Turkish team.

Such an act of the German striker is quite understandable. The noise from the fans of an Istanbul club once reached 141 decibels, which is 16 decibels louder than the noise emitted by a jet fighter. It should be noted that the permissible noise threshold for football stadiums– 140 decibels, however this rule only applies to international tournaments UEFA and FIFA.

Note: Statistical data taken from the book "Guinness. World Records 2017", as well as from earlier editions of the series.

Scottish football was also marked by one very productive match. In the 1885 National Championship, Dundee Harp scored just 35 goals against Aberdeen Rovers. One historian noted that two fewer goals were scored in that match. Nevertheless, this result is worthy of respect.

2. "Arbroath" 36-0 "Bon Accord" 1885

According to the audience, after the SOE mentor argued with the referee, the SOE players began to score goals in their own net in protest. For the match football players managed to score 149 goals.

Sometimes incredible things happen in football that the world has never seen before. Some players score fantastic goals from long distances, others hit the ball with incredible force, after which it flies into the goal net with great speed, others are distinguished by a large number of goals scored in one match or season. In general, something happens that did not happen before, that is, one or another record is set or surpassed. It is about the 10 most incredible records in football that we will talk about today.

Farthest goal (Asmir Begovic - 91.9 m.)

In 2013, the match of the English Premier League "Stoke City" - "Southampton" took place, in which the goalkeeper of the "potters" Asmir Begovic scored a goal. In football, of course, there are cases when goalkeepers act as a scorer, but this mainly happens when playing standard provisions in the final minutes of the match. Our case is special in that Begovic scored a goal from his own penalty area. He simply kicked the ball away, which flew to the opponent's goal and treacherously jumped over Southampton goalkeeper Artut Boruc, ending up in the net. That ball was scored from a distance of 91.9 meters.

Interesting fact. About a year earlier, before Begovic's sensational strike, Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard had also scored in a similar style.

Most red cards in one match (Claypole - Victorano Ahrenza - 36)

The match of the 5th division of Argentina between Claypole and Victorano Arensa went down in football history thanks to the huge number of red cards. The meeting began quite calmly, but after the score was 2-0, the players of Victoriano Arenas were outraged by many decisions of the referee, and in the end, everything escalated into a fight. The main arbiter of the match, Damian Rubino, decided to punish the participants with a mass brawl. He issued as many as 36 red cards, removing all 22 players from the main team, as well as many substitutes and coaching staff. Rubino can be called a real daredevil, because not every modern referee can dare to remove 2-3 players per match, and he left as many as 36 overboard.

The most expensive transfer of a football player (Neymar - € 222 million)

Football madness cannot be stopped. It would seem that the €94 million paid by Real Madrid to Manchester United for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo will remain a transfer record for a long time. However, a few years later Gareth Bale and then Paul Pogba were sold by their clubs for even more money: €100 and €105 million respectively. The madness didn't stop there. In the summer of 2017, the French "Paris Saint-Germain" paid the Spanish "Barcelona" for the Brazilian Neymar € 222 million. It is the most expensive player purchase in football to date. I wonder how long this transfer record will last?

Record for the most goals scored in one calendar year (Leo Messi - 91)

This is interesting. The Zambian Football Federation does not recognize the achievement of the performance of the Argentine Messi. In their opinion, the Zambian striker Godfrey Chital scored the most goals in a year, allegedly scoring 107 times in the opponent's goal.

Most goals scored by a single player in the World Cup (Just Fontaine - 13)

Frenchman Just Fontaine scored 13 goals at the 1958 World Cup. Fontaine scored a hat-trick in the first game of the national team in the group stage, then scored a double against Yugoslavia and hammered another ball into the Scots. In the quarter-final game against Northern Ireland, Just scored a double, and also celebrated one goal in the semi-final of the tournament against the Brazilians, which, as a result, France lost 5-2. In the match for third place, Fontaine scored 4 more goals, bringing his scorer's baggage in the tournament to 13 goals. By the way, .

Most goals scored by a goalkeeper (Rogerio Ceni - 135)

The goalkeeper has one most important task on the field - to protect his goal. However, for some goalkeepers, the work associated only with the protection of their own goal seems boring, and they decide to test themselves as a scorer. Such keepers in football history there are a few, but they exist. Rogerio Ceni is the chief of these goalscoring goalkeepers. The Brazilian played for Sao Paulo, in which he spent more than 20 years and won many titles.

Seni also proved to be excellent as a scorer. During his career, the player scored 135 goals in all competitions. He scored these goals from free kicks and penalties. For example, the famous English midfielder Ryan Giggs scored only 111 goals in the same playing period of his career.

5 Champions League Cups in a row (Real Madrid 1955-1960)

From 1955 to 1960, Real Madrid destroyed all their rivals on the continent, winning 5 UEFA Champions League Cups in a row. This record is still unbeaten, and for sure, against the backdrop of a significant evolution of the tactics of the teams and the skill of the players, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to repeat such an achievement. It is worth noting that in the current realities it is not possible to win the Champions League, even twice in a row. Only in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, the same Real Madrid managed to win the tournament twice.

Largest attendance at a football match (Brazil v Uruguay: 210,000)

The final of the 1950 World Cup with the participation of the national teams of Brazil and Uruguay, held at the Maracana Stadium, was called the Maracanazo. According to official figures, 173,850 tickets were sold for the match, but unofficial sources claim that 210,000 people were in the stadium at the time of the game. Then there was no such strict control regarding security measures at the stadium, and many fans without tickets made their way to the stands in order to watch an interesting match.

The most productive match in history (Adema - Stade Olympique l'Emirne - 149: 0)

The Madagascar championship match between Adema and Stade Olympique l'Emirn, held on October 31, 2002, was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the most productive in football. That game was part of a 4-team tournament. Football players of "SOE" were dissatisfied with the actions of the chief referee in the last game, who by his decisions deprived the team of the chance to become a champion. For the next match against Adema, the SOE players took to the field and, unexpectedly for everyone, began to score goals in their own net. In 90 minutes of play, they managed to score 149 times against their goalkeeper. 149:0 is the final score of the game.

Such a protest from the players did not go unpunished to Him. The Madagascar Football Federation suspended the head coach Him for several years from football, and also banned some football players from playing until the end of the season.

Fewest wins in one season in the English Premier League (Derby County - 1)

Such a sad football record belongs to Derby County. Among all the teams participating in the 2007/08 Premier League season, Derby was the weakest. For 38 rounds, the "rams" managed to win only 1 match. They lost 29 matches (another record), scored only 20 goals, with 89 conceded. At the end of the season, Derby became the weakest club in the Premier League with 11 points in their asset. As a result, "Derby" finished last in standings and was relegated.

Most international goals (Ali Daei - 109)

Over 13 years of his career, the Iranian Ali Daei managed to play 149 matches for the national team, in which he scored 109 goals. Daei is considered one of the greatest footballers in Iranian history. At the club level, the striker managed to play in one of the strongest leagues in Europe - the Bundesliga. He represented Hertha and Bayern. During his time at Bayern, Ali became the first Iranian player to play in the UEFA Champions League.

The strongest kick in football (Hulk - 214 km / h)

At one time, Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos owned one of the most powerful blows in football, but now the Hulk has the most powerful blow. The Brazilian “winger” demonstrated his cannon in the match against Shakhtar Donetsk, when he was still playing for Porto. Hulk hit from outside the penalty area, after which the ball sank into the goal at crazy speed. Shakhtar goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov was powerless against such a shot. The flight speed of that ball was 214 km / h, which today is an unsurpassed record.
