Lionel Mess appears unstoppable reaching a landmark goal tally yesterday.  On Saturday Messi became the first player ever to score 50 goals in a Spanish soccer season.  This incredible feat occurred when Barcelona beat Osasuna by 2-0.

It was just last week when Messi equaled the previous record of 49 goals scored in a season by Real Madrid’s, Hungarian Ferenc Puskas.  His 50th goal came three minutes from time.

The Argentine footballer currently plays for FC Barcelona and the Argentine national team – he is considered one of the best soccer players in the world, if not the best.  He has received several Ballon d’Or’s and FIFA World Player of the Year honors.
