In a stunning display of skill and precision, Lionel Messi led Inter Miami CF to victory in their quest for the Supporters’ Shield. The Argentine legend’s exceptional performance on Matchday 36 has rightfully earned him the prestigious Player of the Matchday award presented by Michelob Ultra.
This accolade marks Messi’s fifth Player of the Matchday award in the 2024 MLS season, further solidifying his status as a true soccer great. His previous wins came after outstanding displays on Matchdays 9, 11, 12, and 32. In joining the ranks of Carlos Vela, Thierry Henry, Jason Kreis, and Cobi Jones, Messi becomes only the fifth player in MLS history to win the award at least five times in a single season.
As Inter Miami CF gears up to face Toronto FC on Saturday, Messi’s focus remains on leading his team to victory and possibly securing the MLS single-season points record. With just two games left in the season, Miami is determined to make history and solidify their dominance in the league.
The anticipation is high as fans eagerly await Messi’s next move on the field. Will he once again dazzle spectators with his incredible talent and lead his team to another victory? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – Lionel Messi’s impact on the MLS is nothing short of legendary.
