Messi surpassed the legendary soccer star Pele in goals scored in one calendar year. That's correct, after a successful victory over Mallorca this past weekend FC Barcelona continues its winning streak so far in La Liga with Messi adding goals in its career. He scored two important goals that helped defeat Mallorca (4-2) and enable him to break Pele's record set in1958 with 75 goals in one calendar year. Messi has enough weeks to score 9 goals needed to break Gerd Muller's all time record of 85 goals set in 1972. There is no doubt that the Barcelona ace would be capable of passing Muller's record given that there is plenty of weeks left in this calendar year.
Ronaldo got elbowed but that did not stop him from scoring against Levante. It was not the best condition to play a soccer match, the pitch was fill with so much water that slowed the pace of Real Madrid. However, on minute 3, Ronaldo received a hard elbow from Navarro causing him to step to the sideline and get treatment as he was bleeding. Luckily it was not as bad as it seemed, and the Portuguese striker scored one goal in the first half. Real Madrid beat Mallorca 2-1 but it was a hard fought game as they scored the second goal in the last few minutes of the match.
Chelsea is in pain after their draw against Liverpool this weekend. In pain not only because they lost two points against Liverpool but also the injury that caused John Terry to leave the match after he collided with Luis Suarez. Terry was coming from a four match suspension, but with this injury he will likely spend more time off the pitch this season, a situation that will create a great challenge for Chelsea in their quest for the EPL title. Chelsea has 24 points so far, behind Manchester City with one point and Manchester United is at the top of the table with 27 points. Always fascinating stuff in the EPL given that there is not much gap between the teams at the top and the teams trailing them.
