Lionel Messi has once again etched his name into football history. The Argentine captain became the all-time leader in international assists, reaching a staggering 60 assists, the most by any player in the history of international football.
Messi achieved this remarkable milestone during Argentina’s emphatic 6-0 victory, in which he set up two goals to take his tally from 58 to 60. In doing so, he surpassed his long-time rival Neymar Jr., who previously held the record with 59 assists for Brazil.
The 37-year-old icon continues to defy age and expectations, displaying his trademark vision, creativity, and precision passing on the international stage. Whether it’s a defence-splitting through ball or a perfectly weighted cross, Messi remains the heartbeat of Argentina’s attacking play even after two decades at the top level.
This record further adds to Messi’s already glittering international career. He has guided Argentina to triumph in the 2021 Copa América, the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and the 2022 Finalissima, solidifying his status as one of the greatest players in football history.
