On Tuesday night into Wednesday, Argentina faced Puerto Rico in the United States in a friendly match.
Starting in this game, which turned into a masterclass with a 6-0 win for the Albiceleste, Lionel Messi took the opportunity to write a new page in world football.
Even though he didn’t score, the Argentine No. 10 still provided an assist for Gonzalo Montiel and another for Lautaro MartĂnez.
Two gems that take his tally to 60 assists with Argentina. A significant figure, given that La Pulga thus becomes the top assist provider in the history of international football, surpassing a certain Neymar and his 59 assists.
Even crazier, Leo Messi is now just two assists away from reaching the 400-assist mark in his career. Definitely the GOAT?
