    Records, in sports, are the only formal measurement of greatness. And there’s a select few - will likely never be broken.
    Here’s a rundown of some of those unbreakable records.

    This video should have mentioned Messi's 91 goals in a calendar year instead of the 8 Ballon d'Ors. Messi's record of scoring 91 goals at the rate of 1.3 goals per game in just 69 games in 2012 is widely regarded as the most impressive individual achievement in football history. It surpassed the previous record of 85 goals set by Gerd Müller in 1972. Messi's feat showcased his exceptional goal-scoring ability, consistency, and skill against tough opposition in various competitions. His record is a testament to his magical talent, durability, and overall brilliance on the football field.

      Muller’s record was only 6 goals behind though and the two played 30 years apart. It stands to reason that it’s not impossible for someone to achieve 92+ goals 20 years from now. Messi’s ballon d’or record is more “unbreakable” because a gap of 3 trophies is significantly wider than 6 goals. Not to take away from 91 in a year, that is INSANE. I’m just saying that it might not fit the category of “unbreakable” that they’re covering here.

      I get what you’re saying but you need to understand that it's not just a 6-goal difference, given that the level of competition has increased since the 1970s. Today we witness a more defensively organized and tactically sophisticated approach from clubs across Europe. Defenses are more compact, marking is tighter, and teams often employ multiple players to neutralize prolific goal scorers like Messi. Despite these challenges, Messi managed to break a record that had stood for over 4 decades against top clubs like prime Madrid and other tough opponents. Additionally, the majority of his goals were individual efforts due to his dribbling skills.

    Wayne Gretzky has a ton of NHL records, most of which will never be broken. Another cool one is that he took the fewest number of games to score 50 goals in only 39! What makes his all time points record even crazier is this - He's the all time leader in goals, assists, and points (goals + assists), and still would be even if he never scored a single goal. That's right, Gretzky has more assists than any player in history has goals + assists!

    Honestly the most unbreakable (besides mins played or consecutive games played) is Gretzky’s career points. For those that don’t understand, points are given for both goals and assists. Gretzky has 2,857 career points. Jagr at second place has 1,921, a full 936 points less. To give you a modern take, Ovechkin is only 58 goals behind Gretzky’s all time career goals (which is amazing) but still needs 1,277 assists to tie Gretzky’s all time career assists record. It’s just impossible to fathom.

The two all-time best among current players, Crosby and Ovechkin, have played since 2005 in the NHL, so 19 seasons each. Their COMBINED points total only caught up to Gretzky's this past season.

    One for Rugby Union would be the largest winning margin in an international match. Australia defeated Namibia by 142 points in the 2003 world cup. Unlikely to be beaten as it happened when the Tier 1 nations had fully adapted to Professionalism, while quite a lot of the lower ranked nations were still amateur. With the fact that higher ranked nations don't play many teams that are outside the top 2 tiers and that the 2007 Portugal world cup team are the last amateur side to qualify, it should remain the record.

    Could have done a whole video just on the ridiculousness of Wayne Gretzky’s records. His career assist record is only just the start. But several of his single season records will stand the test of time too. 92 goals in a season; 215 points; +100 rating in +/- rating; also, 12 short handed goals AND 11 short handed assists in the same season is nothing short of insane. And oh yeah, 65 career hat tricks.

  • @mrrazrback2471

    Gretzky won an NHL MVP his rookie year, and won 8 consecutive MVPs to start his career. The latter will probably never be done again. Also I think someone has said this, but even more unbreakable is his points record (goals + assists), which is 2,857. The closest person in second is at 1,921, and closest active player is at 1,556 (36 year old). This means that no NHL player has more career points than Gretzky’s assist total, and no one is ever coming close.

    I don't know about the football records mentioned at the end. Winning five consecutive European cups is admittedly very impressive, and while it has become even more difficult today due to an increase in scope and matches you have to participate in to win the title, I don't think a team winning five straight Champions League titles is completely unthinkable, especially if there is no end date to that prediction. "All" it takes is for one very dominant team to arise and have some luck with the draws and outcomes for a couple of seasons. It's a gargantuan feat should it ever be achieved again, definitely, but I wouldn't die of shock if it did even within the next two decades.

If you look at all the athletes mentioned, you need three things: a longer-than-average career, consistency at top level, and very good doctors. A five-in-a-row Champions League winner is not totally unthinkable considering the amount of money involved in the top clubs (Milan in the late 1980s/1990s won 3 times, reached 2 finals and one semi-final in 7 years). Or on an individual level you’d need, like Martina Navratilova, a willingness to go for doubles titles even when you‘re out of the spotlight in singles‘ tournaments. Even Michael Phelps‘ and Simone Biles’ medal runs could be topped through the ongoing inflation of Olympic / championship events.
