Barely six months in Miami, Lionel Messi has already won his first award.
WHAT HAPPENED? Lionel Messi has been nominated for the MLS Newcomer of the Year award despite having only played six games in the US league for his new club Inter Miami.
The total of three finalists were determined by a vote of MLS players, MLS club employees (coaches, technical directors/general managers) and media representatives. In addition to the Argentine, Giorgios Giakoumakis from Atlanta United and Eduard Lowen from St. Louis City are also in the final for the award.
WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND? Messi only moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami in the last summer transfer window. In the MLS, the Argentine world champion only needed a short time to get started. In a total of 14 games for the Florida club, he scored eleven goals and provided five assists.
