Players with most assists in international football
From Lionel Messi to Cristiano Ronaldo, Sportzpoint brings you names of the top 10 footballers who have provided the most assists in international football history.
Both in international and club football, goals often steal the limelight but in most cases, the orchestration that creates the pathway of a goal is an assist from a teammate. Every player plays very less international matches compared to club games and that is why it is tougher to accumulate a huge number of goals and assists in international football.
There are some players whose longevity, creativity, and passion for the game let them enter the chart of the players with most assists in international football. Let's look at the list consisting of the top 10 players.
10. David Beckham - 36 Assists

Arguably considered the greatest footballer ever, Lionel Messi is both one of the best goalscorers and playmakers to ever grace the game. Debuting in 2005, Lionel Messi has made 189 appearances for the Argentina national team so far.
Messi's greatest honour with the national team came in 2022 when he led Argentina to win the 2022 World Cup, and he was named the Best Player of the Tournament. Messi is the only player to win two Golden Ball awards in 2014 and 2022.
The record 8-time Ballon winner also won two Copa Americas with Argentina, consecutively in 2021 and 2024.

However, after suffering a horrendous injury in the 2014 World Cup, Neymar led the Brazil team to win the Olympics Gold on home soil in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Neymar is also the all-time highest goalscorer of Brazil's national football team with 79 goals by his name. Neymar is tied with the leader on this list with his 58 assists in 129 international appearances but he will surely clinch the top spot in his remaining career.

In the 1954 FIFA World Cup, England reached the quarter-finals for the first time but lost 4–2 to reigning champions Uruguay. They have qualified for the World Cup sixteen times.
England won the 1966 FIFA World Cup final on home soil, making it one of eight nations to have won the World Cup. It is their only significant achievement on the global stage to date. Despite being the oldest football-playing nation, they have not won any important international trophy in almost six decades.
Every European Nation that has won a World Cup also has a Europan Championship in their trophy cabinet. But, England have not won a single Euros. Their best performance came in 2020 when he finished as the runners-up, losing to Italy in penalties.

Trophies won by Spain in International Football (Men's)
The Spanish Men's National Football Team is one of the most decorated football-playing nations in the World. In this article, we'll have a look at their trophy cabinet.
Spain is one of Europe and the World's most supported and successful football-playing nations. Spain has been a member of FIFA since its founding in 1904, even though the Spanish Football Federation was first established in 1909. It is governed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation, the governing body for football in Spain.
Several greats have played for Spain and won trophies. They were going through a tough phase as they hadn't won a major trophy since 2013. But, they ended the drought in 2023 after winning the Nations League and became the second national team besides France to win three major titles. Under their new Manager Luis de la Fuente, La Roja are playing attractive football once again and are now set to play the final of the Euro 2024. So, let's look at the trophies Spain has won in their footballing history.
Spain Men's National Football Team'sHistory in Major Tournaments
The first Spain national football team was made in 1920 to find a team that would represent Spain at the 1920 Summer Olympics held in Belgium. Spain made their debut against Denmark and managed to win that match by a scoreline of 1–0, eventually finishing with the silver medal. Spain qualified for their first FIFA World Cup in 1934, defeating Brazil in their first game and losing in a replay to the hosts and eventual champions Italy in the quarter-finals.
At the 1950 finals in Brazil, they topped their group and then finished in fourth place. Until 2010, this was Spain's highest finish in the FIFA World Cup finals. Spain won its first major international title when it hosted the 1964 European Nations' Cup, defeating the Soviet Union 2–1 in the final at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. It was Spain's lone major title for 44 years.
In the UEFA Euro 1984, Spain reached the final but they lost the final against France. At UEFA Euro 2008, Spain won all their games in Group D. They faced Italy in the quarter-finals match, which Spain won 4–2 on penalties. They then beat Russia in the semi-finals by 3–0. In the final, Spain defeated Germany 1–0, with Fernando Torres scoring the only goal of the game. This was Spain's first major title since the 1964 European Championship.
In the 2010 World Cup, Spain advanced to the final for the first time by defeating Germany 1–0. Iniesta scored the only goal in the final against the Dutches. Spain became the third team to win a World Cup outside their continent, and the first European team to do so. They then became the first team to retain the European Championship, winning the final 4–0 against Italy.
Since then Spain have won only one title, the 2023 Nations League by beating Croatia in the Final via penalty shootout. After the 2012 Euro triumph, Spain faced several heartbreaks. They were eliminated from the group stage of the 2014 World Cup. At Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup, La Roja reached the last 16 in both tournaments but lost to Italy 2–0 and Russia 4-3 on penalties. In the UEFA Euro 2020, held in 2021, Spain reached the last four of a major tournament for the first time since 2012. But, it didn't end well as they lost to eventual champions Italy by 4–2 on penalties.
The same year they managed to reach the 2021 UEFA Nations League final but lost to France. In the 2022 World Cup, Spain lost to Morocco 3–0 on penalties in the Round of 16.
In the ongoing UEFA Euro 2024 Spain progressed to the Round of 16 after winning all three matches and without conceding a single goal. They beat Georgia in the round of 16 by 4–1. Then they eliminated the hosts Germany in the quarter-finals with a 2–1 win and defeated France in the semi-finals with the same result, qualifying for their fifth European Championships final. La Roja set a new record of 6 consecutive matches undefeated in the European Championships.
Spain is one of eight national teams to have been crowned world champions and have participated in a total of 16 out of 22 FIFA World Cups, qualifying consistently since 1978. They are three-time continental champions and have participated in a total of 12 out of 17 UEFA European Championships.
From 2008 to 2012, Spain became the only national team to win three consecutive major titles, including two back-to-back European Championships in 2008 and 2012, while becoming the first European team to win a World Cup held outside of Europe in 2010. From 2007 to the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, Spain recorded 35 consecutive undefeated matches.
