Lionel Messi has achieved another historic milestone in his illustrious career, becoming the first footballer in the modern era to record 400 assists across all competitions.
The 38-year-old Argentine reached the landmark during Inter Miami’s 4–0 victory over Nashville SC on Sunday, where he set up teammate Allende Tadeo twice in quick succession in the 73rd and 76th minutes according to football journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Messi’s latest feat highlights his enduring brilliance and influence on the game, even in the twilight of his career.
Spanning nearly 20 years across FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and now Inter Miami, Messi has cemented his status as one of football’s most complete players combining over 800 career goals with unmatched creativity and playmaking vision.
His 400th assist joins an already glittering résumé that includes eight Ballon d’Or awards, four UEFA Champions League titles, and the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina.
