Inter Miami CF captain Lionel Messi MLS MVP 2025 title was officially confirmed today, crowning an utterly dominant season that saw him lead the club to their first MLS Cup title last weekend. Messi becomes the first player in Major League Soccer history to win the Landon Donovan MVP award in consecutive seasons, solidifying his status as the league’s unquestioned best player.
The superstar’s regular season performance made the vote a clear-cut decision, with Messi claiming over 70% of the total vote. He swept the offensive categories, leading the league with 29 goals (winning the Golden Boot) and 19 assists in just 28 appearances, totaling a league-best 48 goal contributions. His statistics produced what many call the best attacking season in MLS history.
This MVP award seals a historic Triple Crown for Messi in 2025 winning the MVP, the MLS Golden Boot, and the MLS Cup title in the same year. He is only the second player ever to achieve this feat. His playoff performance was equally influential, leading to his selection as the MLS Cup MVP just days before this announcement.
The Lionel Messi MLS MVP 2025 honor ensures he finishes the season as the most decorated player on both an individual and team level. The Argentine legend’s continued dominance confirms the transformative impact he has had on Inter Miami and the league as a whole.
