Lionel Messi has achieved another remarkable record in his football career. He is now the player with the most assists in international men’s football. With 60 assists, he has surpassed both Neymar and Landon Donovan, who were previously tied with 58. Messi reached this milestone by providing two assists during Argentina’s impressive 6-0 victory against Puerto Rico.
Argentina, ranked third in the FIFA rankings, concluded their tour of the US in a spectacular fashion at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, home to Inter Miami. Although Messi did not score a goal, his crucial passes to Alexis Mac Allister and Lautaro MartÃnez highlighted his talent.
Messi’s role as a playmaker in international football has spanned over 19 years, starting with his first assist during his World Cup debut. He is now just three assists away from reaching 400 assists in his professional career.
