Will messi be the player to have the highest number of goals in one season?!

The season is just half way and at the end of last season messi and cr7 scored a total of 53 goals and now just half way in the season,messi already has 51 goals. However,messi reems to be scoring more in the champions league while CR7 scores more in the liga BBVA.

half way?

really? lmao

He will beat the record. But ronaldo will probabbly beat it aswell. The question is who will have the highest amount of goals by the end of the season.

Messi has played alot more than Ronaldo so he will prob have the most come the end of the season

Last season he had more aswell but that didnt stop ronaldo from scoring more. But yeah you're right.

Ronaldo to me is more of a goal machine just that messi seem to out score him more in the UCL

Are you talking about la liga or overall?because overall it's pele with 100 and something goals

in official game pele's best season is 1958 with 66 goals.we do not count
friendly.if you count then, in 1959 he scores 100. 53 in official 47 in friendly match.

funny question. you think messi will not score 2 goals in remaining 15-17 games?

Sure he will

He should be on atleast 52 atm, he got a legal goal disallowed yesterday. Fcking Spanish refs

Messi is one goal behind Ronaldo in la liga so the pichici is wide open.

Messi will def outscore Ronaldo come end of the season I mean he is on 51 and there are still so many games left.

I believe the record is held by Dixie Dean. Some people say it's 60 goals, others say it's more. That was in the league only however so it's quite impressive.

There are others from leagues around the world who have scored 60+ as well, although the quality of their league's at the time was questionable, to say the very least.

If Messi can score 70 I think we can safely conclude the record will be his. I personally think he'll finish on around 62-63.

Can someone provide us with these stats? The number of goals scored by Ronaldo, all comps, and in La Liga, and the same for Messi....

Football in 1929 and 1889 is not what it is now. Those guys would play against crap defenses with zero tactics.

Ferenc Deák scored 66 in 45/46.....

Dixie Dean only scored 63 I thought

He also has a crazy amount of assists. his assist total is also only few away from equalling his last year total

Correct, back then, defenders could get away with quite literal murder. The object was to see how many knee caps you could rupture in a season. Forget keeping your eye on the ball, a centre back's eyes were always on a striker's ankle, waiting to scythe it down like a twig

In the early days, football heavily favoured defenders and strikers had minimal protection. To score 67 and 74 goals respectively in that sort of atmosphere is mind boggling and not something that should be taken lightly

In addition to what Lex said. What makes you think the strikers weren't crap too? Were the strikers fantastic but all the defenders were s***? Nope

Exactly. If the defenders all were shit, then why only a very few have scored a lot of goals?
