Lionel Messi has reached a historic milestone by equaling Ferenc Puskás's all-time record for the most assists in football history, with 404 assists to his name. This achievement highlights Messi's stature not only as a prolific goal scorer but also as one of the greatest playmakers the sport has ever seen.

Messi, who continues to amaze with his vision and creativity on the pitch, matched the legendary Puskás's record during a recent match where he contributed multiple assists. Puskás, who played from the 1940s to the 1960s, set a high standard that lasted decades until Messi's current era.

Statistical records confirm Messi's dominance, showing that he holds the most assists recorded in official matches according to Opta sports data, surpassing many other football greats. His total goal contributions (goals + assists) also place him at the top of football history.

Fans and experts worldwide recognize this feat as yet another testament to Messi's genius and impact in football, alongside his numerous scoring records and individual awards. While Cristiano Ronaldo chases his own remarkable achievements, Messi's assist record stands as a symbol of unparalleled playmaking excellence.

Messi's continuing brilliance in matches for Inter Miami and his previous clubs cements his legacy as one of the true all-time greats of the game.
