Lionel Messi reached another milestone on Tuesday night as Argentina defeated Peru 1-0 in their CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier. The match, played at the Estadio Alberto José Armando in Buenos Aires, capped off a remarkable year for the Argentine team.

Messi set up Lautaro Martinez’s 55th-minute goal, which secured the victory. This assist brought Messi level with Landon Donovan of the United States as the player with the most international assists in football history, both with 58.

At 37, Messi remains one of football's most celebrated players, with over 45 career trophies to his name. It is still unclear if he will continue with Argentina through the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but his impact on the international stage remains undeniable.
