Question

9. Lionel Messi,          (set) the record for the most goals in a calendar year,is considered the most talented football player in Europe.

Answer 1

9. having set考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，Lionel Messi is considered the most talented football player in Europe 为主句，         the record for the most goals in

a calendar year在句中作状语，set与逻辑主语Lionel Messi构成主动关系，再根据句意，可知创纪录在先，被认为是最有才华的球员在后，故用having set。
