Pele, Messi, and the Unprecedented Records That Stand in a League of Their Own.

Lionel Messi scoring 91 goals or Arsenal’s 49-match unbeaten record is among the “unprecedented” records in football history.

Lionel Messi scored 91 goals in a calendar year. 91 goals is a number that can take a striker 2, 3, even 4 years to achieve. However, Messi only needs one calendar year 2012, 69 matches with club and national team to do this. This record has not been reached by any player in the top 5 European national leagues.

Arsenal with 49 unbeaten matches in the Premier League. Arsenal reached its glorious peak with a series of 38 unbeaten matches to win the championship in the 2003/04 season completely. This is the premise for the “Gunners” to go down in history with their 49-match unbeaten record in the history books. Arsenal’s record lasted from May 7, 2003 to October 16, 2004.

Chelsea conceded 15 goals in a season. Premier League 2004/05, Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea only conceded 15 goals after 38 rounds and won the championship convincingly. This is a record that even Liverpool with “super defender” Van Dijk or Man Utd with the pair of steel centre-backs Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand cannot break.

Lionel Messi scored in 21 consecutive matches in La Liga. In the memorable 2012/13 season, “El Pulga” scored against all 19 teams, with a record of 33 goals.

Formiga participated in the World Cup 7 times. Formiga made his debut for Brazil when he was just 17 years old. The Brazilian midfielder still plays at the highest level until retiring at the age of 43 in November 2021 and is considered a special phenomenon in world women’s football. At the 2019 World Cup, Formiga became the oldest player to score in this tournament.

Oldest professional player still playing. At the age of 56, Kazuyoshi Miura is still playing for Portuguese second division team Oliveirense. The legend of Japanese football has a contract until June 2024.

Just Fontaine scored 13 goals in 6 matches at the 1958 World Cup. This is the record for the number of goals scored in a World Cup. In 1962, Fontaine retired due to serious injury. The 1958 World Cup was the first and last time Fontaine fought on this playground.

Goalkeeper with the most goals in history. Rogerio Ceni is recognized by FIFA as the goalkeeper with the most goals in the world, with 131 goals in 446 matches for Sao Paulo. In the first 100 goals, Ceni had 43 goals made from the 11 meter mark, 53 free kicks from the fence, and the remaining 4 situations where he joined the attack. The season in which the former goalkeeper born in 1973 scored the most goals was the 2005 season with 21 goals.

Pele won the World Cup 3 times. “King of soccer” Pele is the first and only person to win the world championship three times with the Brazilian team in 1958, 1962, 1970. With this achievement, the late legendary Pele became the most successful player in history. World Cup history and at the same time he also helped Brazil have the honor of permanently owning the Golden Goddess Jules Rimet Cup.

The stadium has the largest capacity in a World Cup final. The final match of the 1950 World Cup took place at the Maracana, the “blue bird’s nest” of the Brazilians. It is estimated that there were 199,854 people present at the stadium that day. And if we include journalists, police, executives and “illegal viewers” on the field, the number will increase to about 200,000. However, the Guinness world record only recorded 173,850 people, officially making the heroic match between Brazil and Uruguay the match with the largest audience in history.
