Lionel Messi has achieved yet another historic milestone in his illustrious career, becoming the all-time leader in international football assists with his 60th for Argentina by surpassing Neymar’s previous record of 59.
The record-breaking assist came during Argentina’s latest international fixture, where Messi once again demonstrated his unmatched vision and playmaking ability. With this achievement, the Argentine captain now holds the record for most assists in men’s international football history, adding another remarkable feat to his decorated legacy.
According to official data from Opta Sports and CONMEBOL statistics, Messi’s 60 assists for Argentina put him at the top of the global charts, ahead of Brazil’s Neymar Jr., who has 59 assists for his country.
In addition to his international success, Messi is now just two assists away from reaching 400 career assists across club and country, a record no other player in modern football has come close to achieving.
The 37-year-old Inter Miami star continues to redefine longevity and creativity in football, contributing consistently for both club and country despite being in the twilight years of his career.
Sports analysts note that Messi’s assist record further solidifies his status not just as a prolific goal scorer but as one of the greatest playmakers in football history.
