Do you know why some records are only suitable for writing in history books? Because they are practically impossible to break. Taking advantage of today's splendid weather, let me take you on a journey through the history of football and review those who have made "unprecedented" and "incomparable" their synonymous terms in the football world.
Messi's 91 goals in a year
This year has been a breakthrough for Bayern Munich's striker Robert Lewandowski. In 2021, he scored 69 goals, securing the top spot in the world's total goals. However, nine years ago, Messi delivered a performance that was even more astonishing. In 2012, he scored 91 goals, with 79 for Barcelona and 12 for the national team. The annual total of 91 goals elevated the player's individual performance to unprecedented heights. Many attackers may never reach 91 goals in their entire careers, and Messi achieved it in just one year!
Fontaine's 13 goals in a single World Cup!
As we all know, the all-time top scorer in World Cup history is the German star Miroslav Klose, who scored 16 goals over four World Cups. The 13 goals by French legend Just Fontaine only rank him fourth on the World Cup all-time top scorers list. However, it's worth mentioning that Fontaine's 13 goals all came in a single match! In the 1958 World Cup, Fontaine accompanied the French team to Sweden, and in that match, he scored an incredible 13 goals, helping France secure third place.
Pelé's three World Cup victories
In the history of world football, only the football king Pelé has won the World Cup three times. Since the World Cup is held only once every four years, it is likely that this record will be challenging to surpass. French star Kylian Mbappé is considered by many fans as the biggest challenger to break this record because he successfully won the World Cup in 2018, and France remains a popular contender in 2022. Moreover, FIFA is currently implementing a new format with the World Cup taking place every two years, making Pelé's record possibly unassailable in the future.
Lewandowski's divine battle, scoring 5 goals in 9 minutes
In the 2015-16 Bundesliga season, in the 6th round, Bayern faced Wolfsburg at home. In the first half, Wolfsburg took the lead with Caligiuri's goal. In the second half, then-coach Pep Guardiola brought on Lewandowski, initiating a furious comeback. In a brief 9-minute span from the 51st to the 60th minute, Lewandowski was like a god among men, scoring 5 goals at lightning speed and instantly reversing the score. Guardiola, witnessing this spectacle, clutched his head in disbelief.
Messi's seventh Dragon Ball in hand
Argentinian star Messi became the ultimate winner of the late November Ballon d'Or ceremony. He won this award for the seventh time, becoming the first player in world football to achieve seven Ballon d'Or victories. While Mbappé and Haaland are currently impressive, they are far from matching the glorious records created by Messi. Perhaps for the next 100 years, no player will replicate this feat! |
