Not taking any chances, Lionel Messi did not stop equaling Mueller's record of 85 in a calendar year, and ended the year 2012 with record 88 goals.
The Barcelona talisman increased his record tally of goals scored in a calendar year to 88 after netting twice last night against Cordoba in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey tie.
Earlier Messi broke Pelé’s record of 75 goals set in 1958 and Mueller's record of 75 goals set in 1972.

Messi now still has two games remaining in 2012 to further extend his record tally.
Iran, which won three gold medals in the Sydney Olympics 2000, is all set to make history at London this summer.
The Iran delegation looks well-prepared for the London 2012 Olympic Games and the athletes are keen to set new records, despite the Iranian threat to boycott the Olympics in London because, it claims, the logo of the 2012 Games conceals the word “Zion”.

The world of sports is full of contradictions, allegations and counter allegations. But sometimes deliberate concealing of facts aims at intimidation and keeping the opponents under pressure.
Recently, I came across one such post wherein Indian cricket player Sehwag in a TV programme on 'Star Plus' at Sahara Indian Sports Awards 4th Dec 2010, is seen boasting with Shahrukh Khan and Sunil Gavaskar on stage about a test match with Pakistan, where Sehwag was a part of sledging with the Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhar.
He told that he was batting near 200 and Shoaib Akhtar was fed up seeing him as quoted "Thak chuka tha Mujhay dekh dekh kar " (He was fed of me looking at me on and on again). So he changed ends to around the wicket and started putting bouncers on Sehwag, after each delivery Akhtar kept on tauting him to hook him " Hook mar kay dekha" ( Show me if you can hook ) constantly for one over.
After realising that he won't stop saying that so he reffering to Sachin Tendulkar , who was at the non-striker's end said to Akhtar " Woh tera baap khara hay non-striker end pay , ussko bol wo mar kay dikhaye gaa"(Your father is at the non striker's end, ask him to play the shot). After one over Shoaib Akhtar put up a bouncer on him (Tendulkar) who put up a six on his bowling. As a reaction Sehwag said " Beta beta hota hay , baap baap hota hay " (Son is son , and father is a father) .
Hence in all this epsiode in front a huge audience he boasted with no hesitation, not knowing that he was saying this biggest lie of this life.
Here is stat from "ESPN Cricinfo" , the most authentic cricket reference source, shows that during Sachin Tendulkar's career, there was no Test match with Pakistan where he ever had hit a six .
If even he was trying to mention the one dayers, in none of the matches Sehwag was near 200 i.e individual score. His highest score till date is 146, so cannot be true about that either. This amply exposes Sehwag for lying about Shoaib Akhtar and making fool of the audience who onstage could not have had access to any records to verify Sehwag's boastful 'achievement.'
See in the 6's coulmn , no six has ever been registered by Tendulkar
I think Sporty Arena has made a point - it is up to the readers to decide the truth and reality in light of information given above.
