Modern football
began to be formed about 200 years ago - in the early 1840s. While the concept
of football is seen to be simpler, there are many statistics, rules and
regulations that can allow players to bring more records in this game.
Therefore, it is only naturally that many records have been made and broken
over time, as in any other game. However, some football records are so complex
that they can withstand over a long time.
# 5 SEVERAL CONSECUTIVE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLE WINS

It is very unlikely that we will see a team win 5 Champions League titles again in a row. In 1956, there was the first European Cup (now known as the UEFA Champions League), scoring European league champions for the first time in history.
Real Madrid won the tournament with a good hand, thanks to Alfredo Di Stefano's fine performance in the final against Reims. This was a fore gleam of what was to come as Di Stefano's brilliant power, along with Hector Rial and French Puskas leading the center, turned the Madrid giants into a major rival in Europe. With the help of three good-looking, Los Blancos went on to win five consecutive European Cup titles in a row.
No club has come close to break the record in more than 63 seasons since, most notably the Ajax Club led by Johan Cruyff who won three consecutive campaigns from 1971 to 1973, and Real Madrid itself, who also won three consecutive campaigns from 2016 to 2018.
Under high level of football competition today, it is unlikely that any club will win five consecutive Champions League titles any time soon, which strengthens Real Madrid's place in history.
# 4 MOST GOALS FOR
ONE PLAYER IN THE WORLD CUP
Just Fontaine scored 13 goals in a World Cup back in 1958.
The 1958 World Cup can be remembered by many by marking the start of 17-year-old Pelé on the world stage. While Pelé led Brazil to their first World Cup win, it was Frenchine Just Fontaine who stole the title during the tournament, scoring 13 goals in just six games with a score of 2.2 per game.
A short player with a keen eye on goal, Fontaine was a role model who was able to score goals in any situation. With Raymond Kopa and Roger Piantoni following him, Fontaine has been able to use his excellent shooting skills several times to score goals in France.
What’s more, Ronaldo’s eighth goal of winning the 2002 World Cup is the closest person ever to record Fontaine’s record in 50 years.
With no one close to scoring 13 goals in a single World Cup Competition and today's defense has improved a year, it is safe to say that Just Fontaine's record will not be hit anytime soon.
# 3 MANY TROPHIES WON BY A MANAGER
Sir Alex Ferguson has won 48 trophies in his prestigious career
In 1974, a young 33-year-old manager named Alex Ferguson began making waves with St. Louis. Mirren, transformed the club from the Scottish second division and into the first division champions two seasons later. After winning his first trophy with the Paisley-based club, Fergie continued to manage Aberdeen, winning with him his first European Cup Winners' Cup.
However, Ferguson is best known for his 26-season management as manager of Manchester United, from 1986 to 2013. During his time with the Red Devils, the disciplinary director won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League trophies, 5 FA Cup trophies, and 2 UEFA Champions League titles which cementing his legacy as one of the top managers.
In all, Ferguson has won 48 competitive trophies, more than 14 for Mircea Lucescu, who ranks as the second manager to win many trophies.
Since modern managers tend to have shorter management responsibilities due to newly acquired job pressures, it is unlikely that any manager will ever come close to beating Sir Alex Ferguson's record in the future.
# 2 A MATCH WITH
THE LARGEST ATTENDANCE EVER
"FIFA World Cup Trophy" by warrenski is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
It is estimated
that more than 220,000 spectators gathered to watch the 1950 World Cup final.
The 1950 World Cup is undoubtedly one of the most memorable matches ever played at Maracana Stadium, between Brazilian hosts and rivals Uruguay. The latter won the match in one of the most annoying moments in football history, as they scored two goals in the second half to win an unprecedented 2-1 victory against Selecao.However, the game is also known for having the largest attendance in football history, with 173,830 paid spectators and an estimated 220,000 spectators in attendance.
By comparison, the largest stadium in the world now, North Korea's 'Rungrado 1st Stadium' seats only 114,000 people, which is only half of what is estimated to be in the 1950 FIFA World Cup finals.
However, many safety regulations and security concerns prevent the collection of such large numbers these days, so it is very unlikely that this record will ever be broken.
# 1 MOST GOALS IN
A SINGLE YEAR
Lionel Messi's
2012 is the biggest year we ever expected tlhave in football.
In 2012 is marked as Lionel Messi's biggest year as he undermined defenses throughout Europe through his goalscoring power.
That year, Barcelona's magician scored 59 goals in 38 La Liga matches, 5 goals in 8 Copa del Rey games, 13 goals in 12 UEFA Champions League with 12 appearances and 2 goals in Supernova. He also netted 12 goals in 9 games for his national team, Argentina.
So in general, Lionel Messi who was 25 at that time, he netted a total of 91 goals in one calendar year on official 69 games. In doing so, the attacking ace made history, by breaking Gerd Muller's record (85 goals per calendar year) that had stood 40 years earlier.
In context, Robert Lewandowski scored the highest number of goals in 2019, with 54 goals in 58 games in all competitions. These numbers, however, do not apply to the Messianic goals of 91 one year, which is proof of how much Argentina's star was on fire in 2012.
