Lionel Messi Records 20 Assists in Single Season, Shattering Ligue 1 Assist Record

The record for the highest single season assists achieved by a player in French football is broken again. Lionel Messi recorded 20 assists in just one season, which was completed during the 2018-19 season.

This achievement marks the first time that a player has scored more than 20 assists in a single season in the entire history of professional football. This feat comes after Messi's previous record of 17 assists set in the 2016-17 season.

Messi's impressive performance in the 2018-19 campaign was not without controversy. The Argentine star had been linked to move from Barcelona to Real Madrid in the summer of 2017, but his transfer became a topic of debate among fans and analysts alike. Despite the speculation, Messi continued to perform at a high level throughout the season, scoring over 20 goals and helping his team to victory in the Copa del Rey and La Liga.

The record-breaking season was marked by Messi's consistent performance, as he continued to be the most prolific scorer in the league. He also added two assists to his tally, making him the joint second-highest assist-scorer in all-time records for both clubs.

Despite the record being broken, it remains unclear how many assists Messi would achieve in the future. His recent form suggests that he may have another season where he can continue to score well, but it will depend on his ability to maintain his consistency and form.

In conclusion, Lionel Messi's achievement of scoring 20 assists in a single season is a testament to his skill and determination as a player. While his record-setting season may be breaking records, there is still plenty of room for improvement in terms of his performance in the future.
