The Argentine superstar earned the MVP title after his stellar performances led Miami to a record-breaking regular season, securing the club’s first-ever Supporters Shield. The 37-year-old finished the season with an impressive 36 goal contributions, including 20 goals and 16 assists, topping the league in both categories.
Despite dealing with injuries that limited him to just 19 appearances, Messi’s impact was undeniable. However, Miami’s season ended in disappointment, as they were unexpectedly eliminated in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs.
Messi becomes the 10th South American player to win the MVP award and the fifth from Argentina, following in the footsteps of Luciano Acosta, Diego Valeri, Guillermo Barros Schelotto, and Christian Gomez.
