At the end of the year, Messi had a record of 91 goals in all competitions with Barcelona and Argentina, surpassing Gerd Muller’s 85 goals in 1972 for Bayern Munich and Germany.

At Copa America 2016, in the quarter-final against Venezuela, Messi performed another great performance by assisting two goals and scoring another in a 4-1 victory, which made it equal to the 54-goal record held by Gabriel Batistuta.
That record was broken three days later, when Messi scored a free-kick in a 4-0 win against USA in semifinals.
