What defines a football king? Whether it's goals, dribbles, or assists, the king is still the king. That king is you—Messi! This year, Messi’s total assists have surpassed 400, reaching 407, an unprecedented and extraordinary record unlikely to be matched anytime soon.

According to foreign media Score90’s 2025 annual assist leaderboard, 38-year-old Messi and Bundesliga’s highest-valued player Olise are tied for first place, with Yamar closely behind. Surprisingly, Man City’s new signing Cherki ranks tied for fourth, which explains why Guardiola regards him as the club’s new De Bruyne.
