Even as Cristiano Ronaldo carved another notch in the record books by becoming the all-time leading scorer in World Cup qualifiers Messi made headlines of his own by setting a new benchmark for the most assists in international football.
His 2 assists in Argentina’s 6-0 win over Puerto Rico took his tally to 60 breaking the record held by an already much broken Neymar.
Apart from leading the world in assists, Messi now stands as the second-highest scorer in international football 114 goals, trailing only Ronaldo’s towering 143.
Messi is a rare symphony of creation and conquest where art meets precision, and vision meets finish.
In Messi, the game finds its perfect equilibrium: a player who can score and also share the glory by giving the perfect pass to a better positioned team mate.
Harmony .
That’s why he will always be the better of the two players as far as I’m concerned.
