On Tuesday night, Lionel Messi, the world-famous Argentina captain, achieved another record after his team’s 1-0 win over Peru in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier.
The Inter Miami forward provided the assist for Lautaro Martinez’s 55th minute goal of the encounter.
The match was played at the Estadio Alberto José Armando in Buenos Aires as Argentina ended their memorable 2024 on a high.
Messi’s assist means the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star becomes the player with most assists in international football history, joint with USA’s Landon Donovan (58).
It’s yet to be seen if Messi will play for Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The 37-year-old is currently the most decorated player in football with over 45 trophies won in his career so far.

King Westt, the son of the new NURTW National leader, Mc Oluomo, has reacted to reports alleging that his father’s belongings were thrown out of the NURTW Lagos office.
Taking to social media, King West set the record straight.
King Westt explained that his father’s belongings were relocated to his new office in Abuja and not removed due to any alleged conflict.
He says it is normal for properties to be evacuated when a leader leaves, and another resumes.
His words; ”Y’all should be wise and smart for once!” he wrote. “Immediately a leader leaves office, a successor comes in. So do you expect the president of NURTW to remain in the state office? That’s not possible!!”
“All his things are packed out from his former office to his new office… Come to Abuja and you’ll meet us there… Get the address online, peeps.”
