Lionel Messi Sets Rare Record as First Footballer to Play 200 Matches for Country
June 17, 2026
Nicolás Otamendi (132 matches) and Ángel Di María (145 matches) are also high on the list of players with the most appearances for Argentina. Ahead of them is Javier Mascherano, who scored 3 goals in 147 appearances.
However, by taking the field against Algeria, Lionel Messi has become the first footballer to play his 200th match for his country. Having already scored 120 goals during this historic journey, it appears highly unlikely that any future player will be able to break Messi's rare record.
