Adriano - crucial goal quickly after 0–1. Messi - usual two goal performance Iniesta

Right, but actually it was Xavi who passed it to Atletico.

There is edit war going on: "Did he score 9 goals not mentioned in stats? Are those two cups official or not?" This was the version I read and linked: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Godfrey_Chitalu&oldid=528059883#Goal_record_challenge

RSSSF says he scored http://www.rsssf.com/players/prolific.html#gmueller 81 in season 1975-76 146 in season 1976-77 67 in season 1977-78 How many in 1976 or 1977?

Yes nothing. It was reply to Chitalu chat.

13 plus a hat trick in 24 games. 14 if 6 games for Argentina also counted. Here in Wikipedia is listed which goals were official and which weren't: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfrey_Chitalu#Goal_record_challenge 80 official goals and 27 unofficial. It is well sourced and you can see...

From same study (data from World cup, UEFA Euro, Copa America) "Players aged 22 or younger successfully convert 85.2% of attempts. Those aged between 23 and 28 convert 77.6%, and those aged over 29 years convert 78.1%." So Messi, above average :-) But to be fair, this data is not comparable...

According to Jordet et al, "Attackers successfully convert 83.1% of their penalties, midfield players convert 79.6% and defenders convert 73.6%." So Messi is only average. Messi's? Cristianos?

Messi has 8 missed penalties (1 scored from rebound, 5 saved, 1 over, 1 post); 34 scored + 1 in shoot-out. In Barca 1st and Argentina senior. That's 84 % conversion rate (or 81.4% without rebound score). Cronaldo missed three last season (Bayern, Bilbao, Turkey). He also missed one against...

No one was interested in this record before Khaled figured it out :-)

Messi will probably have 75 or something from open play. Only 2 of them came against 2nd division team. Müller? Where I read something about 12? So 73 vs 70 :-) No need to struggle, hand it to Messi.

Messi Pique Villa - did well enough to be 3rd though in some situations was not that concentrated

99 goals now, with 11 in friendlies/beneficials (7 games). That Samitier's 65 is something he will never reach, I think.

Messi - Made the difference once again. Injury? Valdés - Woodwork or not, keeper is why a ball hit the posts and does not go in Iniesta - 1: gave ball to Messi, watched magic happen; 2. got a pass from Messi, then clever assist to Messi. --- Just checked the graph. Pinto 3 games played, 3 times...

So, Müller 146 (48/37 + 98/35) Pele 126 (65/55 + 61/49) Messi 97 (86/66 + 11/7)

270 goals in last 300 club games. When will he break 300 in 300? Next year? He scored 28 in those 300to250 games, so Messi needs 58 in next 50 games. Goal per game in 300 matches is insane, but possible.

Pinto Messi Tello

Who is Muller in the video? The German guy near keeper clearly kicks the ball and then it deflects from keeper. Clearly not a goal by original shooter.

I remember it was Tello missing it. He didn't run for the pass. Was he too amazed by the moment and only watching in awe? A free kick followed, though.

Point is not Barca = FC Messi but Messi scores like a whole team. More, in most cases.
