10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[DrPepper]

At this time of the Year (March 14th), how many goals/assists Messi had in his most prolific year?,

Just to get a comparison to this current year.

40 goals in 2012/13 after matchday 27, ended up with 46 since he got injured later. The season before both CR and Messi had 33 goals, Leo had 50 in the end. Assists I don't know unfortunately.

24 I think, in the calendar year

2012 - Games 17 - Goals 21 - Assists 6 - Minutes 1414
2015 - Games 17 - Goals 20 - Assists 11 - Minutes 1485


This is only for Barca though.

Make that 15%, spetember-november, team awards and total goals give you ballon d'or, Ronaldo is already saving himself for next season start for this reason.

This.

Sep-Nov are the most important months to win Ballon D'or, and Penaldo knows it.

People have short span memory and won't even remember how Messi played during Jan-March.

That isn't true if Messi brings the silverware this season.

There is no way people will forget, when Messi is playing at this level.

Also, he has a lot of momentum. Who knows, by the end of the year he might be closing in on his old record from 2012.

That is a big if.

Let's just hope Messi can keep playing like this for the rest of the year.

They did it in 2010, Messi was killing it the first few months of the year, similair to this year, yet nobody cared.

He'll even hold back again for Portugal to make sure they go into a play off again just in time for the voting.

I think Messi needs either the CL this season or a starring role in Copa America. Otherwise he'll have to keep the goalscoring form up until November otherwise Penaldo will pip him again. CL could be key.

You overestimate peoples memory, and underestimate Madrid Press influence over the voters (I'm sure many don't even watch most games, just CL, finals, etc.)

+1000

And cry to Blatter/Floren to get a voting extension.

This.

 

[LordLichtenstein]

I couldn't disagree more, but anyway, here is 2012 vs. 2015.

Does anyone know the total of games Messi potentially will be playing in 2015?

EDIT*

Okay, let's say that Barca makes it to the UCL Final, Argentina makes it to the Copa America Final & and Barca makes it the WCW Final, then it is around 75-78 games in total for 2015
