Anyway this thread does seem to be forgetting joe cole is better than messi according to the mighty Gerrard :D

 

Ah yes, one of my favorite press clips of all time, together with the "Best players in the world (and Xavi)" Mail headline after the 2008 Ballon d'Or.

7 goals away of equalizing Müller's record for highest-scoring season in Europe across all competitions, according to Spanish media.

 

He still has 9 games to play, plus a possible CL final. Ludicrous if he managed to beat it.

 

Ben Arfa is better. You will see next season when he has all these easy games in the CL to play :frantic:

How many goals did he score in his first 9 games though? :shifty:

I think he will do it. He's in the perfect side to do it and his form this season has redefined world class.

No, it's a club goals record. He set it in the 1972-73 season.

 

A little bit of digging up shows he also scored 6 goals with Germany from August 72-August 73. Messi's got five with Argentina since August 2011.
