Barça established a new goalscoring record in a calendar year thanks to
goals from Messi, the Brazilian defender and the Spanish international
Messi isn’t the only one breaking records in 2012. FC Barcelona managed
to break the 170-goal mark that was set last season. In fact, Tito
Vilanova’s men have netted 172 times this year: 118 were scored in La
Liga, 26 in the Champions League, 24 in the Cup and 4 in the Super Cup.
Here’s an overview of Barça’s standout players against Atlético Madrid:
Adriano Correia:
Falcao
opened up the scoring and gave Atlético Madrid the lead thanks to a
beautiful chip over Valdés, but FC Barcelona struck back thanks to an
absolutely sublime curling shot from Adriano. The equalizer was
Adriano’s sixth goal of the season.
The Brazilian defender has
scored two goals with his right foot, and four with his left. Against
Valencia, Adriano scored a beautiful goal, however, that one was with
his right. He’s fundamental for Barça on both sides of the pitch.
Sergio Busquets:
Sergio
Busquets proves his worth every game he plays for FC Barcelona. He's
the fundamental link between Barça’s offence and defence. This time,
against Atlético Madrid, the FC Barcelona midfielder gave his team the
go-ahead goal right before the break.
Lionel Messi
The
Argentine forward is making sure to notch up as many goals as possible
in 2012. With his brace this evening against Atlético Madrid, he has 90
goals this year. In addition, Leo has scored 25 goals so far this season
in La Liga, a mark that sees him clear of his immediate pursuers for
the Pichichi trophy. It’s worth mentioning that Atlético Madrid are the
team that Messi has scored against the most: 20 career goals, 17 in La
Liga.
