Lionel Messi was named as the winner of the Landon Donovan MVP Award on Friday for the 2024 MLS season, beating out Columbus Crew's Cucho Hernández, Portland Timbers' Evander, Christian Benteke from D.C. United and his Inter Miami teammate Luis Suárez.
The 37-year-old Messi won thanks to his 20 goals and 16 appearances in just 19 matches.
He joins Carlos Vela in 2019 (LAFC, 34 goals, 15 assists) and Sebastian Giovinco in 2015 (Toronto FC, 22 goals, 16 assists) as the only players in league history with at least 20 goals and 15 assists in a single season.
