Messi hits 60


So, some guy named Lionel Messi scored his 60th goal of the season this past weekend as Barcelona was able to move within 4 points of Real Madrid at the summit of La Liga. The Flea became the first player since Gerd Muller in 1973 to score 60 goals in a season. Muller went on to score 67 that year for Bayern Munich and holds the record to this day for most goals scored in one season of European competition. With 7 games remaining in La Liga, a Copa del Rey final on the horizon and 3 potential remaining games left for Barca in the Champions League, there's no reason why Messi can't surpass Muller. Do I hear 70? 75?
