Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami won the MLS Supporters’ Shield in October

Argentine icon Lionel Messi has been crowned the Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player (MVP) after a stellar first season with Inter Miami.

Despite injuries limiting him to just 19 regular-season and two play-off appearances, the 37-year-old delivered a league-high 36 goal contributions, netting 20 goals and providing 16 assists. His impact helped Miami achieve a record points tally in the regular season, though they exited in the first round of the MLS Cup play-offs.

The prestigious MVP award, decided by votes from players, club technical staff, and journalists, saw Messi secure 38.43% of the votes, edging out Columbus Crew’s Cucho Hernandez, who garnered 33.7%.

This accolade adds Messi’s name to a celebrated list of past winners, including U.S. legend Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane of Ireland, and Spain’s David Villa.

Messi’s MLS triumph further solidifies his legacy as one of football’s greatest, making waves in yet another league.
