I think you didn't notice me noticing that despite Barcas strikers being unproductive Barcelona scored record 190 goals last season. What do you think is the reason behind that? Certainly not only Messi's 20 goals more because in the season before Barcelona scored 43 goals less, not 20 less...

1 national: Argentina - Saudi Arabia, November 14 4 Copa del Rey 4 UCL 9 La Liga = 18 He will rest some surely, so 15 is possible.

Thanks for the stats. I was practically asking them. But with a record goalscoring season for whole team, that is not the whole story at all. 190 in 64. The season before, 147 in 60. That's 43 goals more and Messi scored only 20 more.

Face it, they are. Villa has his age, he is playing last years in Barcelona. Henry was replaced by Pedro in 09-10, you can't include him on your calculations. Ibra had his problems. Also, goals per minute is not enough, its biased on subs like Higuain & Benzema 10-11.

There must be two trophies next year like in Argentina Best footballer: one for Messi and one for others. And, Messi has now scored over goal per game in his last 200 official matches in FC Barcelona (201 goals plus about 90 assists). Who was the last to score this much?

Messi and Cronaldo together, at same side. That'll be interesting.

[Messi has] only 1 assist in NT: 02/06 Ecuador = 1 Assist. You have 19 in your list, btw. Those other assists counted eg by Transfermarkt were: 19/02 Valencia = 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWSaPaEIrgM touched one opponent 20/03 Granada = +1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APHnT7Zem28...

Forgot one against Ecuador for Higuain? Also, by broader assist rule it's 26 (Granada own goal, one or two rebounded from post or keeper etc)

Good header, as always.

11 in his career, 7 this year, 4 this season.

Pathetic Maradona-copy.

Counting those Messi&friends and friendly games Messi has 76 goals (and 32 assists, 58 games) this year. 100 is not unrealistic this way.

Great article! It reveals that Wenger is late. Newell's Old Boys already got the boy. ("plans to give special club membership").

So, one or two goals and an assist.

When did Xavi have 33? According to transfermarkt (which has broader definition for assists than "official" count: rebounds from post for example), Xavi's best season was 2008-09 with 31 assists for Barcelona. Messi got 36 last season, 73+36. So, don't wish him "scoring 30-40 and assisting...

I wrote it to the Wikipedia (with sources). At least Luca Caiolis Messi mentions only those (Barcelona did not allow other games before June 2004 as Messi played juvenil copa del rey) and I could not find any more from Mundo Deportivo archives. Argentina played U-17 World Cup in Finland in...

Almost Diego, maybe that's why...

Why should a Messi fanboy care about other players or FC Barcelona (more than as a home of Messi)? Or why should Barca fanboy care about other teams?
