Messi scored twice in this game, raising his total goals for the year to 80, becoming the third person after Gerd Muller and Qiao Anchen to exceed the 80-goal mark for the year.
players.
And there are still many games this year, and Messi is about to surpass Gerd Muller's 85-goal record.
It is a pity that Qiao Anchen has already surpassed Gerd Muller's record. The current new annual total goal record is held by Qiao Anchen, and it has exceeded the 100-goal mark. Messi has no chance to break the record anyway.
.
As some media and fans said, Messi is indeed unlucky. This year was Messi's best scoring year, but unexpectedly, Qiao Anchen came out of the blue, completely ruining his supposed brilliant year.
Suppressed.
It's indeed a tragedy, but there's nothing we can do about it.
However, after this round, Barcelona qualified one round ahead of schedule with 5 points ahead of the second place and locked the first place in the group. The second place was competed by Benfica and Celtic in the final round.

The next day, at 21:45 in the evening on November 21, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage of the four groups a, b, c, and d started at the same time. Atletico Madrid challenged Zenit St. Petersburg away.
Fighting on the third line and having secured first place in the group in advance, Simeone will naturally not waste too much energy in this game. Not only are most of the starting players substitutes, but many main players such as Falcao and Diego Kos
Tha, Gabi, Courtois and others were not even included in the substitute list and did not go to Russia at all.
Although Qiao Anchen has confirmed in training and games that his physical fitness has improved significantly and he has no problem coping with double matches a week, the weather in Russia's icy and snowy two days was not good. Simeone was afraid that Qiao Anchen would be injured in the away snow battle, so there was no arrangement.
He starts.
Another reason is something behind the scenes: Simeone does not want to fight with his opponents, but wants to lose to them, give them points, play tacit basketball, eliminate the experienced AC Milan from the Champions League, and face future encounters in the knockout rounds.
arrive.
It's always good to defeat a strong enemy first in the group stage.
Under such circumstances, is there any suspense left in the game?
In the heavy snow in St. Petersburg, most of the substitute players started in the away game. Atletico Madrid, whose overall strength and condition were poor and who wanted to deliberately let go, lost 0-2 cleanly, allowing Zenit St. Petersburg to gain three points.
point.
This was Atletico Madrid's first defeat this season, but no one cared about it, because everyone knew that this game was insignificant to Atletico Madrid. Simeone sent most of the substitutes, and even many of the main players were absent.
Everyone will know the result when he is selected into the squad.
Although Qiao Anchen was replaced by Simeone in the 85th minute of the game and played for a few minutes, he failed to score and failed to refresh his world record for total annual goals again.
In another game, AC Milan defeated Anderlecht 3-1 away from home and brought home a victory.

Anderlecht ranks fourth with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, with 4 points.
Because the outcome relationship with second-placed AC Milan is at a disadvantage, Anderlecht has been eliminated early, but there is still a chance to compete for third-placed Europa League knockout qualifications.
If Zenit St. Petersburg loses in the last round and Anderlecht wins, they can surpass Zenit with 7 points, rank third, and go to the Europa League knockout rounds.
AC Milan and Zenit St. Petersburg will directly fight each other in the final round. AC Milan leads in points and can qualify if they tie. Zenit St. Petersburg must win in order to overtake AC Milan and advance to the knockout rounds.
The final round is AC Milan's home court. Zenit St. Petersburg is going to San Siro to challenge the Rossoneri, which is not easy. However, AC Milan is in poor form this season, and Zenit has the possibility of giving it a try.
But these are none of Atletico Madrid's business. Anyway, their opportunity has been left to Zenit. Whether they can knock out AC Milan in the group stage depends on whether Zenit can live up to its expectations.
Among the other three groups, Paris Saint-Germain and Porto join hands to advance from Group A. It just depends on who can get first place in the group in the final round of direct dialogue between the two sides.
In Group B, Schalke 04 and Arsenal also defeated their opponents respectively and joined hands to qualify one round ahead of schedule. It only depends on which of the two sides can take first place in the group in the final round.
In Group D, Dortmund beat Ajax 4-1 in an away game, and Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Manchester City in an away game. Dortmund and Real Madrid both qualified together. In the last round, they just competed for the top spot in the group.
Cristiano Ronaldo did not score in this round of the Champions League, and the number of goals in the Champions League has stayed at the same number as Messi at 5. Both Melo and Melo have scored 5 goals in 5 games, and the average goal rate per game has reached 1 goal per game.
Extremely efficient. But compared with Qiao Anchen's 9 goals in 5 games, he lags far behind.
Qiao Anchen scored 9 goals. In the era before Melo, it was enough to win the Champions League Golden Boot in many seasons. However, after Melo grew up, the standard for the Champions League Golden Boot was raised to more than 10 goals.
In the following two days of Europa League matches, there were several upsets as always.
Especially in the Group H match, Rubin Kazan from Russia defeated Inter Milan 3-0 at home, which was considered the biggest upset in this round of Europa League.
Metalist from Ukraine in Group K defeated Bundesliga pharmaceutical company Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 at home, which was also a big upset.
With the end of this week's European competition, everyone returns to the domestic league to start the weekend games.
On Saturday, November 24, Malaga beat Valencia 4-0 first, causing an uproar in Spanish football.
Although Malaga is currently ranked higher than Valencia, their points are only 1 point more, and in terms of foundation, they cannot keep up with Valencia.
It’s understandable whoever wins from both sides, but the high score of 4-0 really exceeded everyone’s expectations.
What was even more unexpected was the next game when Real Madrid challenged Real Betis away from home. Real Madrid actually lost, losing 0-1 away to Betis. Cristiano Ronaldo did not score a goal, and the number of goals in the league was still at 12, the lowest score this season.
The La Liga Golden Boot is getting further and further away.
Moreover, the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona has not yet been played in this round. If Atletico Madrid and Barcelona win this round, Real Madrid will be more than ten points behind the top two.
Half the season is not finished yet, and it is more than ten points behind the top two. This kind of thing is really rare for Real Madrid. What's more, Real Madrid was the champion last season, and they didn't expect to fall so quickly this season.
Mourinho's character, tactics, relationships with players on the team, conflicts, etc., have all been reported in the spotlight by the media.
In particular, the relationship between Mourinho and Casillas is very tense. Coupled with poor results, the Galacticos are now in a state of turmoil. With the strength of the Magic Bird, it is difficult to control the Real Madrid locker room.
The next day, Sunday, November 25, most of the main players in the last Champions League game were given rotations and rest. The entire main force played against Sevilla at home.
Under the attack of Joan Chen, Diego Costa and Falcao, in the first 17 minutes of the game, Joan Chen dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was tripped by the nervous Sevilla defender Fasio.
A penalty kick.
Qiao Anchen made it in one stroke and easily scored the penalty. Not only did he continue to refresh his La Liga consecutive scoring record to 35 games, he also refreshed his total goals for the year to 103 goals, and received double world record-breaking rewards.
In the 32nd minute, Joan Chen dribbled the ball from the center of the frontcourt to the top of the penalty area, attracting the blockage of four Sevilla players.
Qiao Anchen did not force a breakthrough, but passed the ball to Falcao in the gap on the left, preparing to assist Falcao to score a goal.
Unexpectedly, Falcao's shot was blocked by goalkeeper Palop. And Qiao Anchen rushed into the small penalty area with unparalleled reaction and speed to pick up the miss, and the ball flew out of Palop's hands after being saved by Palop.
Falling next to Qiao Anchen.
Qiao Anchen had no choice but to accept the gift, flew into the air and kicked the ball into the empty goal after the goalkeeper fell to the ground with the sole of his shoe.
Atletico Madrid led 2-0, and Qiao Anchen scored twice, setting his annual scoring record to 104 goals.
