Messi factored into a league-high 36 goals – scoring 20, assisting on 16 others – for the highest rate per 90 minutes in MLS history
It was a rare instance of Lionel Messi stepping on a soccer field and having no idea what was happening.
MLS revealed the voting results Friday. Messi edged out Columbus Crew forward Cucho Hernandez for the award, which is determined by a poll of players, club technical staff and select media members. The club voters preferred Hernandez over Messi by a slight margin; Messi was the choice of 41 per cent of players and 43 per cent of media.
The MLS MVP – named for Landon Donovan – is yet another entry on the absurdly long list of career honors for Messi. He’s an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, eight-time FIFA player of the year winner, a seven-time Spanish league MVP, past UEFA player of the year, past Champions League player of the season, World Cup golden ball winner, Club World Cup golden ball winner, and the list goes on and on and on from there.
Messi stunned many in the soccer world when he picked Inter Miami last year, instantly turning the franchise into one of the game’s biggest brands. Winning the Leagues Cup shortly after Messi arrived gave Inter Miami its first trophy, and his No. 10 jersey has been MLS’ biggest seller from basically the moment that the most decorated player ever picked Miami.
