In the MLS Cup semi-final, Inter Miami hosted New York City at home and secured a 5-1 victory. This victory marked another blurring milestone not only for the team but also for Lionel Messi.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner once again demonstrated his unique skill and creativity in the world of football. He reinforced Inter Miami's dominance by providing a clear pass to a teammate during the match. But most importantly - it was this assist that reminded Messi once again of him as the holder of absolute numbers in world football.
This pass went down in history as Messi's 405th career assist. Thus, he became the only player in the history of professional football to have more than 400 assists. The previous record belonged to one of the legends of Hungarian football - Ferenc Puskás, who was leading with 404 assists.
Messi has overtaken this milestone as well - now each of his new passes automatically turns into a new record, a new page.
The 38-year-old has not yet lost his top form. In the current season alone, he participated in 40 matches in all competitions, scoring 38 goals and providing 22 assists. This indicator proves that he is still one of the most influential figures in world football.
Messi's movements, his ability to feel the game, and his ability to turn every situation in his favor are once again captivating millions of football fans. Each of his games is becoming a new record, a new history.
