In the final round of the regular season against the New England Revolution, substitute Messi scored a hat-trick and was crowned the team's all-time top scorer. At the same time, Messi also locked up the regular season MVP!
After just 33 minutes as a substitute, Messi scored a hat-trick to help Inter Miami to a 6-2 win over the New England Revolution. Despite the early victory, this victory has a special significance.
After scoring all three points in this game, Inter Miami set a regular season points record with 74 points. According to an article on the official website of the American Professional League, Inter Miami played one of the greatest seasons in the history of the American Professional League.
At the same time, after completing a hat-trick, Messi has scored 20 goals and provided 16 assists in 19 regular season appearances in the MLS this season, and has been involved in a total of 36 goals, which makes him the biggest favorite for MVP.
Miami Inter midfielder Greyl said, "If I could vote, I would definitely vote for Messi. For me, the MVP is the best player in the MLS and Messi is by far the best player. ”
Others may think that the MVP should be the player who makes the team better, or the player who is indispensable to the team. For me, Messi is such a player. You could see that today, he came off the bench and scored a hat-trick. So, I think he's the MVP. ”
Kremaschi also said, "Obviously, Messi is the MVP, and he shows that every time he plays. He's a player on another level. ”
In addition to Messi, the players eligible to compete for the MVP include Cucho Hernandez, last season's MVP winner Acosta and Messi's teammate Suarez.
However, they were slightly inferior in performance compared to Messi. Cucho Hernandez has 19 goals and 14 assists in 26 appearances this season, Acosta has 14 goals and 19 assists in 31 appearances, and Suarez has 20 goals and nine assists in 27 appearances.
The voting for the MVP will close on October 21, but the official MLS website can't wait to say, "In Florida, they call Messi the best player of all time." Perhaps, Messi will soon be awarded MVP! ”
