Lionel Messi has been awarded another commendable feat. Despite the player’s MLS injury history, Inter Miami has named an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner as their Most Valuable Player for the 2023 campaign.

Lionel Messi was able to add another trophy to his collection after being named Inter Miami’s Most Valuable Player for the 2023 campaign.

Miami claimed on their website that Messi was their most valued player for the 2023 season, even though he had only joined the team in June following his departure from PSG. Despite the fact that Messi had previously played for PSG, this nevertheless happened. After 14 games, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner already had 11 goals and 8 assists, so it’s easy to say he had a big part in the team’s triumph.

Without a question, Messi is the most well-known athlete to have taken home the Inter Miami Most Valuable Athlete award. Although Gonzalo Higuain and Lewis Morgan have both received the honor in the past, Messi is by far the most well-known recipient. The announcement was made only a few days after Argentina’s captain, Lionel Messi, received his sixth Ballon d’Or. One of the factors in Messi’s victory was his ability to assist Argentina in winning the World Cup in Qatar. 

Though Messi was not successful in leading Inter Miami to the MLS playoffs, he was successful in leading them to their first trophy, the inaugural Leagues Cup. In actuality, the 36-year-old forward was injured for the majority of their remaining games and managed just one goal in his six Major League Soccer (MLS) appearances.
