Lionel Messi has claimed the MLS Player of the Month award for May 2025, continuing his impressive run with "Inter Miami" in American soccer. The 37-year-old Argentine forward outshined several competitors for the prestigious monthly honor.
The league announced the award through their official channels, confirming what many fans already suspected. Seven matches, seven goals, four assists - numbers that speak for themselves.
"The level of competition in MLS keeps improving, which makes this recognition even more special," Messi might say about this achievement.
Messi's remarkable May performance helped him edge past some serious contenders, including Philadelphia's Tai Baribo, Nashville's Hany Mukhtar, San Diego's Anders Dreyer, and Cincinnati's Evander.
Interestingly, Messi's contributions have helped "Inter Miami" secure third place in the Eastern Conference standings with 29 points after 16 matches. Not bad for a team still finding its rhythm in the competitive league.
The Argentine isn't slowing down either. He'll be looking to carry this form into "Inter Miami's" upcoming Club World Cup fixture against "Al-Ahli" scheduled for June 15.
Can the football maestro maintain this scoring rate throughout the season? At 37, most players would be winding down their careers, but Messi seems to be enjoying a second wind in American soccer.
