Lionel Messi scores two for Barcelona to break Gerd Müller's record
The Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has broken the record for goals scored in a calendar year after scoring twice for the Catalans in their 2-1 win at Real Betis on Sunday night. They were his 85th and 86th goals of 2012, and the 25-year-old therefore surpassed Gerd Müller's mark of 85, scored for Bayern Munich and Germany in 1972.
