Lionel Messi, the legendary captain of Argentina, reached another remarkable milestone in his illustrious career during his team’s 1-0 victory over Peru in a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.

The match, held at the iconic Estadio Alberto José Armando in Buenos Aires, saw Messi play a crucial role in the win by providing a perfectly timed assist to Lautaro Martinez, whose 55th-minute goal secured the three points for Argentina.

This assist further solidified Messi’s legacy, as he now shares the record for the most international assists in football history, with an impressive 58 assists.

He is now tied with Landon Donovan, the American football icon, who also boasts 58 assists in his international career.

As Argentina wrapped up their successful 2024 campaign on a high note, the win against Peru not only marked a significant moment for Messi but also showed the team’s continued dominance in international football.

The 37-year-old forward’s performance continues to captivate fans worldwide, despite being in the later stages of his career.

The question remains whether Messi will suit up for Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as the forward has not yet confirmed his participation.

However, given his drive and determination, many believe he could still make a significant impact on the global stage.

Messi’s career, which began at Barcelona before his move to Paris Saint-Germain and now to Inter Miami, has been filled with extraordinary achievements.

With over 45 major trophies under his belt, including multiple Ballon d’Or awards, he stands as the most decorated player in football history.
