With a career spanning more than 21 years, since making his professional debut in October 2004 with F.C. Barcelona, Lionel Messi has shared teams, games, and anecdotes with several players. During his time at Barça, Paris Saint-Germain, and Inter Miami, in addition to his commitments with the Argentina national team, Leo has contributed 1,300 times in goals in 1,135 games. But most of them were with a special person by his side. And no, it's not Antonela Roccuzzo, his wife. Who was the soccer player who played the most games with Lionel? Inter Miami shines and gears up intensely ahead of the match against Cincinnati The answer may surprise you: they shared more than 600 games In his early years with Barcelona, Leo became close friends with a Catalan midfielder who joined the club at the age of 20 during the 2008-09 season. Together, they took the team to another level, maintaining a competitive spirit for years and encouraging the Argentine's creativity and freedom. And of course, his teammate is none other than Sergio Busquets. Together, they were key players in Barcelona's most successful decade, winning national and international titles and making their mark in competitions ranging from La Liga to the Champions League. Now, they have been reunited at Inter Miami, David Beckham's club, and have already played a total of 649 games together. https://twitter.com/USER_ID/status/1990511575107842145 Two other Barça teammates are the second and third players with the most games alongside Leo: Gerard Piqué with 506 appearances and Andrés Iniesta with 489 games.
