Gerd Muller hailed Lionel Messi as 'an incredible player'
after the Barcelona star broke his record for the most goals in a calendar
year.
Muller grabbed 85 goals for Bayern Munich and West Germany
in 1972 and the mark stood for 40 years until Messi netted his 85th and 86th
goals in Barca’s 2-1 win at Real Betis in December to mark an amazing 2012 for
the little Argentine.
Well Der Bomber has received a signed Barcelona shirt from
the new record holder with a message of recognition which reads, Dear Gerd,
“With my respect and admiration.”
Muller said, “I’m very pleased and proud to receive a jersey
like this from the best player in the world.” Muller also said that he plans to
loan the shirt to the Bayern Munich museum.
