In 2022 World Cup, Argentina superstar Messi, Portugal's Bruno Fernandes, England's Harry Kane, France's Antoine Griezmann and Croatia's Ivan Perisic all finished the tournament with three assists each.

Tied with Messi at three assists is Griezmann. The forward has been placed in a relatively new position by Didier Deschamps in Qatar. Playing a midfielder role, the Atletico Madrid player has created 20+ chances for his side at this World Cup.

Perisic did grab an assist to move onto three assists during Croatia's 2-1 win over Morocco in the third-fourth playoff on Saturday.

Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Theo Hernandez and Marcus Thuram (who made a goal in the final) of France all finished on two assists.

England's Harry Kane, Portugal's Bruno Fernandes, Argentina's Lionel Messi, France's Antoine Griezmann, and Croatia's Ivan Perisic all share top-spot with three assists apiece in the end.
