Do I need 40 characters. I don't know maybe, maybe not, but here you go

You are wrong. Puskas has 504 assists..

Who cares about assists...assist that no one kept records back in the day...as Messi fans see say Messi no fit meet up with Ronaldo goals ...them start to de upgrade assists like bebex wey de upgrade old Mercedes .... I have never seen best assists award or highest assist award, or golden assist ... no one awards assists , yet Messi fans wan de force assist ... Ronaldo has the highest assist in champions league history, but we don't care about it ... we all know klose is the highest goal scorer in world cup history, but not one even know the person with the most assists in world cup ...Yekini na Naija top scorer ...pls who be Naija top assist maker... Shearer na EPL highest ever goal scorer , who get most assist for EPL..u will have to Google it , that's if its even Accurate... Assists na same with number of tackles

Why is it called puskas award?

The Goat just added another trophy to his record collection. 47 and counting. We will now use Finallisima, MLS cup and World cup to round am up to 50!

What Messi is achieving with this Inter Miami team is simply outstanding. This is a team with no assembled heavyweights. The friends of Messi there are old and all retiring by end of this season.

So for Messi to carry a baggage of the old and feeble plus the young and inexperienced to multiple trophies the club has never won before in its entire existence is an incredible feat and that is why he is the greatest player of all time. Mr do and talk after.

Congratulations to him for achieving 405 assists, the highest ever in football history. That Puskas had 404 assists is even still a doubted statistic as some sources put it at 359 or so. Any way, the Goat has eclipsed all of that.

@ Almiron, how's Canada bro. Make una tell ur Vancouver boys to stand down o. GOAT must carry that cup

Messi the total package.
Trophy number 47, Assist number 405, Goals number 896 ( 4 more goals to reach 900 career goals.
A player wit almost 900 career goals and still the has the highest assist at 405. If this is not insane then I wonder wat it is.

As for pendu fans, remember Messi has just clinched his 47 career trophy.

He is not breaking records anymore. He is just rewriting football history.

Every milestone he passes becomes permanent.

Balon D'or 8X is permanent.
(Tell me who will win 9 Balon D'or in the next 500 years. Nobody is coming)

Assists now permanent.
(The closest 3 people to his assists records, Puskas, Pele, Cryuff are dead and no longer playing football. Nobody is coming) .

Trophies record is permanent.
( The closest is 7 trophies behind and retired long ago. Nobody is coming)

People comparing Ronaldo to Messi are not OK.

GOAT for a reason. The funniest part is this dude isn't even desperate for awards or records. I've seen him give assists several times rather than score I've seen him give PK to teammates rather than stock his records. As a teammate, he's very much interested in making you shine

Are u talking about Peugeot?

Messi; a gift to our generation and a dream for future generations. Happy Sunday Nairaland

If Messi was DESPERATE for records and recognition by now he would have been the highest goal scorer by far too.

I can never forget the day that Ronaldo's teammate scored and he was begging referee to cancel the goal and give him a Penalty due to a foul during the buildup to the goal. That was the day I realized Ronaldo was really DESPERATE for records unlike the real GOAT who is just playing football for fun.

I agree with you 100%
Ronaldo is the 🐐

Almiron where have u been? U enta Canada kun 4get ur boys. Btw, tell ur fellow Canadian boys @ Vancouver that Inter Miama has got the cup so make them just rest.

Hope u cool bro.

Almiron:
Most assists.
Most chances created.
Most goals contributions in football history.
Most dribbles completed ever.
Most Ballon d’Ors.
Most Golden Boots.
Most Playmaker Awards.
Most MOTM awards.
Highest goals-per-game ratio.
Most trophies in football history.
Greatest individual World Cup run ever.

There’s only one man who ticks every single box and he didn’t need a PR machine, staged gym documentaries, or algorithm propaganda to convince the world.

He didn’t have to sneak into a Saudi prince’s entourage to meet Donald Trump.
He didn’t beg Piers Morgan to host a therapy session to cry about teammates.
He didn’t run from awards because he couldn’t handle someone else shining.
He just played ball and the world agreed.


The debate ended years ago, some people just refused to accept it.

And the funniest part?
He’s still going to break the all-time goals record before he retires… the desert lord is about to cope in 4K.

It’s always been Messi.
There was never a debate.

why don't you support your claim by providing your source

Anyone who understands what soccer technically means will never compare Messi with any other.

There is only one GOAT
LIONEL MESSI

So assist is now a thing in football?

Leo Messi won Ronaldo after winning World Cup

There is no record in this world without lifting a world cup. Messi did it and this will forever set him apart from penaldo

Congratulations to him 👏 👍👍

I swear, I can not forget that day. So selfish a player. Begging ref to cancel your teammates goal to award you penalty. Messi is just classic
