Ligue 1, the top-flight football league in France, saw Lionel Messi break a record on Sunday as he scored his 20th assist of the season.

The Argentine superstar's achievement is particularly significant because it means that he has now surpassed the previous record holder, Neymar, who had previously set the mark with 19 assists in the same period last year.

Messi's incredible run of form continues to amaze fans and critics alike, with the 34-year-old having already broken numerous records this season. He currently leads the French league with 36 goals and 55 points, and he remains a key player for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Despite his impressive performances, Messi has also faced criticism from some quarters, with some questioning whether he should be playing at such a high level given his age and fitness concerns. However, the forward has remained focused on his game, and his dedication to the sport has not wavered.

Overall, Messi's achievement in breaking the Ligue 1 assist record is a testament to his skill and commitment to the sport. His contributions to PSG have been crucial in helping them maintain their position at the top of the table, and his performance against Monaco earlier in the week was another example of why he remains one of the best players in the world.
