#8 Most international goals scored in a calendar year – club and country (25 in 2012)

Messi had an incredible 2012 and along with the Guinness World record, he also created another unique world record for the most number of international goals scored in a calendar year. International goals included those scored in continental competitions for Barcelona and in international matches for Argentina.

#9 Most consecutive matches scored in the League: 21 matches (33 goals)

In the 2012/13 season, Lionel Messi went on an incredible scoring form in the League, the likes of which will probably be never repeated again. The Argentine maestro scored in a scarcely believable consecutive 21 League matches scoring 33 goals.

#10 First player to score consecutively against all teams in the League

That year, Lionel Messi also became the first player ever to score consecutively against all the teams playing in the League. Messi scored against all the 19 teams continuously in the League even scoring against arch rivals Real Madrid twice during that run.
