Football will never be able to remember the year 2012 and not remember Leo Messi. The Argentine star ended all the scoring records that existed until now and dressed as a hero on many occasions to take Barça to the top. This is the year of the transition from Pep Guardiola to Tito Vilanova on the culé bench.
We always talk that Messi is more than figures and that his impact on the game goes beyond any set of numbers that try to qualify the skill and quality of a footballer, but what Rosario’s achieved that season is unrepeatable.
Leo Messi finished the year with 91 goals, 79 dressed in azulgrana and another 12 with the elastic of the Argentine national team. With Barcelona he played 60 games, and in only 18 of them he left empty without seeing the door, that is, in 70% of the crashes he scored at least one goal. At the end of the year he accumulated one poker, two pokers, four hat-tricks and 22 doubles. Figures that no one has dared to approach.
Of the 91 goals in 69 games, 59 were in the league championship, 13 in the Champions League, 5 in the King’s Cup, 2 in the Spanish Super Cup and the other 12 with the Argentine team. 81 of them were with the left leg, 7 with the right and 3 with the head. 14 were from the penalty spot, another 7 from direct free kicks and the other 70 marks from the home of the Argentine star. As if that were not enough, Leo distributed 24 assists.
Perhaps the year 2012 was one whose golden ball was more sung once the season was over. Although there were other players with more titles, what Leo Messi achieved in terms of scoring figures is unique and unsurpassed. He thus took his fourth ballon d’or after an unrivaled year that entered the record book squarely.
