#374Career AssistLegendary

At 2–0 up in a World Cup semi-final against Croatia, Messi’s twisting run on the right pulls Gvardiol apart and carves out the byline angle for Álvarez to tap in, sealing the final spot and logging career assist 349.

In a 5–0 El Clásico demolition already at 2–0, Messi’s perfectly timed through ball slices Real Madrid open for Villa to make it three, capping a masterclass in control and vision on the way to his 65th career assist.

In an El Clásico Supercopa final deadlocked at 0–0, Messi threads the move that releases Iniesta behind Madrid’s line, breaking the tension and opening the scoring before later capping the night by reaching the 200-career-goal mark.

With Argentina already 2–0 up in World Cup qualifying stoppage time, Messi threads a perfectly timed pass that splits Bolivia’s tiring back line and releases Julián Álvarez to make it 3–0, capping a first-half masterclass and logging career assist number 377.
