Leo Messi, Inter Miami forward, was selected on Monday as the best player of the week in MLS after the hat trick he scored on Saturday against the New England Revolution in the last half hour of the game. This is the sixth time the Argentine star has achieved this award throughout the season.
In just 1,485 minutes on the field, Messi added 20 goals and 16 assists for Inter Miami, who last Saturday closed the regular season in first place and has the record for points (74) in the history of the championship.
Messi, who also provided help against the Revolution, has already been selected best player of the week on competition days 9, 11, 12, 32 and 36.
Only Carlos Vela and Jason Kreis
Only the Mexican Carlos Vela (2019) and Jason Kreis (1999) They got this award six times in one season. Both ended up taking the MVP for best player of the course.
Inter Miami won the Supporters’ Shield for the best club of the regular season and will open the playoffs for the title this Friday against Atlanta United or Montreal.
The first round of the playoffs will be played in the best of three games.
