Messi adds another record to his career
Lionel Messi has achieved yet another historic mark in football, becoming the first player in history to record 400 assists across his professional career. The milestone adds another layer to the Argentine’s remarkable legacy as both a goal-scorer and playmaker.
Record-setting brilliance
The 37-year-old reached the landmark during a recent match for Inter Miami, continuing to redefine what’s possible in modern football.
Known for his vision, precision passing, and ability to create chances from seemingly nothing, Messi’s assist total spans his time with Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Miami, and the Argentina national team.
His career numbers now include over 800 goals and 400 assists, figures unmatched in the sport’s history. Analysts note that Messi’s playmaking ability has evolved with age, shifting from explosive runs to a more cerebral orchestration of attacks.

Unrivaled consistency
Messi’s assist record has been built across more than 1,000 professional matches. Data from sports analytics firms highlights that no other player has reached the 400-assist mark, placing him alone at the top of both goal creation and scoring charts.
Even as he continues his career in Major League Soccer, his influence remains undiminished. Inter Miami’s attack has flourished under his leadership, with younger teammates benefiting from his trademark through-balls and set-piece deliveries.
A lasting legacy
Fans and pundits have celebrated the achievement across social media, calling it another example of Messi’s “football intelligence” and “unselfish greatness.” Football historians suggest the 400-assist record further cements his reputation as one of the most complete players ever to play the game.
As Messi’s career nears its final chapters, milestones like this remind the world why his name continues to define an era of football brilliance.
