“Lionel Messi continues to rewrite world records even in MLS”, — write: sport.ua
The 38-year-old Argentinian assisted Mateo Silvetti in a 5-1 cup win over New York City, taking his tally to 405 – and now has more assists than Real Madrid legend Ferenc Puskas (404). At the same time, Puskas played almost 500 fewer matches.
The match gave Messi the MLS Eastern Conference Winner’s Trophy and became the 47th trophy of his career, another record that he continues to add to. Inter Miami will now play in the MLS Cup final against Vancouver.
Messi’s collection is impressive: 10 La Liga titles, 4 Champions Leagues, 7 Copa del Reys, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup trophies, two Ligue 1 titles, as well as the World Cup, Copa America, Finalissima and Olympic gold. Plus eight Golden Balls is an unattainable record.
Fans do not hide their delight: “His trophy room should have its own index!”; “47 titles… he is already a walking museum exhibition”; “Soon we’ll be talking about him as the greatest athlete in history.”
Messi proves one thing: his era is not over yet. And very soon he can win the 48th trophy.
