No one doubted the ability of this rather short-heighted footballer from Argentina when he took to the world stage. All of 25, the popularity of Lionel Messi surpasses oceans and boundaries. Already a three-time World Player of the Year (Ballon d’Or), he is all set to win it a fourth time when the honor is announced in January 2013. Messi has more records to his credit than anyone else in the history of football. Gerard Piqué may be right when he describes Cristiano Ronaldo as “the best of the humans” and Lionel Messi “an extraterrestrial”. Messi got 74 of his 86 goals from inside the box, most of which were through penalties. His left foot guided the ball into the goal net 75 times. Here is a picture gallery containing some spectacular exploits in 2012 of the man who cannot be described in mere words.
