Lionel Messi wins first-ever MLS Player of the Month award after 10 goal-contributions in April for Inter Miami
Lionel Messi has clinched his first-ever MLS Player of the Month award following an exceptional April performance for Inter Miami.
The Argentine maestro’s impact was profound, as he contributed to 10 goals throughout the month, guiding the Herons to an undefeated streak in league play. With three wins and one draw under his belt, Messi showcased his brilliance with six goals and four assists in just four matches.
Returning from injury in early April after missing four games, Messi wasted no time making his mark in the MLS. His outstanding form not only propelled him into contention for the MLS Golden Boot Race but also positioned him as an early frontrunner for the coveted 2024 MLS MVP title.
The MLS Player of the Month accolade is determined through a voting process conducted by a panel of select national media members overseen by MLS Communications.
Inter Miami continues to shine on the MLS stage, securing back-to-back Player of the Month awards, with Suarez claiming the honor in February/March.
In their upcoming MLS clash, the Herons are set to face off against the New York Red Bulls, promising an electrifying Eastern Conference showdown between the top-ranked Miami and third-ranked RBNY.
