Lionel Messi scored a record-breaking 91 goals throughout the calendar year of 2012. It was that sort of form that saw Messi score 91 goals and produce 22 assists in 2012 for Barcelona and Argentina. Since Messi set that goalscoring record in 2012, the closest that anyone has come to matching it was Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013 and Robert Lewandowski in 2021 with both players scoring 69 goals.

In 2012, Messi scored an incredible 91 goals in 69 games and he picked up the fourth—for his extraordinary feats in 2012, when he bypassed records set by Pele (75 goals in 1958) and Gerd Muller (85 goals in 1972) in January 2013 at a ceremony in Zurich. In just 69 matches for Argentina and Barcelona, that little freak somehow scored at a rate of 1.3 goals per game for a whole year. However, no matter how good that player is, they'll do well to even come close to his record of scoring 91 goals in a calendar year.
