Brazilian Edison Arantes do Nascimento Pelé, the great name in the sport of football is remembered for his high goal score, which stood at 75 goals in one calendar year in an era when none other ever reached near him.

Now the young blooded Argentinian Lionel Messi has emerged as the greatest goal scoring football player ever as he supersedes Pelé's record and takes his tally a goal more than Pelé - that is 76 in the year 2012 so far. This means the record will be further improved in whatever remains of the year 2012.
Messi scored 64 goals for Barcelona and 12 for Argentina in only 59 appearances. At the age of only 25, Messi has shown promise to go down in the history as a legend, just as Pelé did.
This done, Messi will now be trying to surpass Gerd Muller's tally of 85 goals over a 12-month period. Gerd Muller scored 85 goals for Bayern Munich and West Germany in 60 games during 1972.

Pele's record was broken during Barcelona's match with Mallorca, which the Barca won 4-2. It was Messi's 15th La Liga goal that made him surpass Pelé s reocrd, which he made way back in 1958.
Messi is once again the hot-favorite to win the Ballon d’Or Award. Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo will be Lionel Messi’s main competitor, however most analysts believe the Argentinean will edge out the former Manchester United striker.
So many congratulations, Messi!! You are on a road to making headlines - and history.
